Good taste. From a good place.
We spend a lot of time making sure our cranberry crop is just right. And with this month’s competition we hope to help you get a taste for the life of a grower, with two fantastic books from www.octopusbooks.co.uk – Home Grown and Organic Kitchen Garden – full of ideas and insight to inspire you in your garden or allotment.
Home Grown, with a foreword from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, is a practical guide to self-sufficiency and living the good life, with tips on growing and raising your own food – from fruit and vegetables through to animal husbandry. Collated by the Soil Association , Home Grown brings together a number of leading experts to show to how easy it is to incorporate aspects of self-sufficiency and organic living into your daily routine.
And whether you’re digging up a basketful of your first potatoes, or popping juicy pods bursting with peas, with Organic Kitchen Garden you can watch your garden flourish with delicious, home-grown produce that you can be proud of. Author Juliet Roberts, in conjunction with her gardening guru Mike Thurlow, provides the definitive guide for all gardeners interested in the art of vegetable growing. Carefully explaining how to set up a vegetable patch, prepare the soil, care for your crops and stagger your harvesting times, the book helps you make the most of every season.
To help quench your thirst while you’re busying digging and raking, we’ll also send the lucky winners a healthy supply of Ocean Spray Cranberry juice.
