The Kitchen Garden

kitchen garden

One of the greatest pleasures of working in the garden is the ability to produce crops of fresh, tasty fruit and vegetables. There is something particularly satisfying about serving up healthy, flavoursome food that was growing outside only a few moments or hours before. The inclusion of a herb patch not only adds extra flavour to your cooking, but can also be used for medical and cosmetic purposes.

In this section we look at every stage of planning a fruit, herb or vegetable garden, from choosing the site and selecting the crops, to harvesting and storing the final product.
