Foolproof vegetable growing for gardeners with little space, but big ambitions

Growing fruits and vegetables doesn't mean having a large garden of your own - or even a garden at all. Step-by-Step Veg Patch is a brilliantly simple, comprehensive guide to making the most of your limited space. In bright photographs and artworks, this book celebrates what the vast majority of people have - a garden, patio or balcony that is precious to them.

With advice on the essential tools you'll need and step-by-step, foolproof instructions, you'll have your own veg patch in no time at all. This localised edition has been tailored to cover the Australian climate and seasons, with Sow and Harvest charts specific to Australia, and tips on growing favourite fruits such as citrus, passionfruit and kiwifruit.

Follow clear photographic advice on all the essentials, from preparing your veg patch to picking your produce. Decide what to grow and how to ensure you have a good selection - even in small spaces. Understand, in detail, how to plant and nurture over 60 different vegetables, fruits and herbs. Discover the reliable fruit and vegetable varieties that taste superb and drop well.

Help your patch reach its full potential and be part of the grow-your-own phenomenon with Step-by-Step Veg Patch.
