Pippa Greenwood's Gardening Year: The Busy Gardener's Essential
Month-by-month Guide
Review A hugely practical month-by-month guide to getting
the most from your garden from the least time and effort. How to have a
gorgeous garden when you've got very little time to attend to it. The secret
is to know the essential jobs for each month so that you get maximum benefit
from the time you can spend on your plot. Pippa Greenwood takes you through
the gardening year - when to sow and plant, how to save time on weeding
later by mulching in the spring, whether it's worth deadheading or would
your time be better spent fertilising the lawn or watering newly planted
pots. Each garden area - flower beds, lawn, trees and shrubs, pond and
furniture - is highlighted so that you can see in an instant what needs your
attention and what can safely be left. Illustrated with inspiring colour
photographs and practical line drawings, the book is easy to use and draws
on Pippa's extensive knowledge of practical gardening for busy people.

Pippa's Organic Kitchen Garden by Pippa Greenwood
Review We follow the creation of Pippa's kitchen garden from the early stages
where she plans and digs the plot to create the right layout to the
successful cultivation of vegetables, fruits and herbs. The plan that
Pippa devised is illustrated to show the designated sections for each type
of plant she gives useful tips for choosing a plot. A gentle slope that
catches the sunshine is perfect. This first section goes on to give advice
on preparing and clearing the site of weeds and debris, what is essential
for fertile soil and how to naturally protect crops without chemicals. She
also addresses the problem of pest and disease prevention, which can be a
concern in a chemical-free kitchen garden.
