I have spent many years growing fruit and vegetables, with a special interest in unusual and rare species and varieties. I am writing these fruit and veg books to show others the magic of growing your own food (in a temperate to cool climate) and to show you how much you are missing when you only shop at the supermaket. There are so many fruits and vegetables that are delicious but never make it to the shops because of transport, or storage issues. Issues that aren't as important to home growers. Please come back often.
