Get excited about home gardening with James Wong's guide to growing plants you'll be happy to eat

Whether it's a window box of homegrown saffron, your very own kiwi vine or a mini green tea plantation on your patio, TV botanist and bestselling author James Wong proves that "growing your own" can be so much more exciting than spuds, sprouts, and swede. Breaking free from the "dig for victory" time warp of allotment staples, James reveals the vast array of 21st century crops that will flourish outdoors, even in the UK's blustery North Atlantic climate--no greenhouse necessary. From goji berries to food-mile free sweet potatoes, James' revolutionary approach to edible gardening will show you how to grow, cook, and eat all manner of superfood crops that are just as easy (if not easier) and far more exciting to grow than the "ration book" favorites. Inspiring, fun, and full of plant know-how, this book is set to revolutionize the whole concept of "growing your own" for newbie growers to seasoned allotment veterans alike. You'll never look at your garden the same way again!
