“The Self-Sufficient Gardener is the complete illustrated guide to planning, growing, storing and preserving your own garden produce through the year.  It is the practical book for all kitchen gardeners.
Text and illustrations explain with step-by-step clarity the whole process of growing every vegetable, fruit and herb, from sowing to harvesting.  Storing, bottling, salting, drying and freezing; making jam, wine and cider; assembling a greenhouse; growing under glass; keeping chickens; mending fences – these and similar related topics are also treated with the same clear attention to detail.”
