About this ebook
This book recommends 10 vegetable plants which will produce food all year round. All the advice in this book is based on my experience of over 20 years of growing vegetables for self-sufficiency in the dry, temperate climate of Canberra, Australia. Note: I update this book occasionally with new information about my vegetables.

Author
Peter Hadley
I am an Australian author living in Canberra. I write historical fiction and books about achieving self-sufficiency in a suburban vegetable garden. I have published three books: Return to Rabaul – an epic story about Australians in WWI and WWll; The Philosophy of Slow Vegetable Gardening - about turning my back yard into a sustainable self-sufficient vegetable garden; and Ten Vegetables for Self-Sufficiency. I also write crime novels under the pen name PM Wells. The first novel in a proposed series 'Dark Intentions' was published in 2012. I published the second novel, Twisted Desires in 2014. Both novels are set in Canberra and star crime solving duo criminologist Mike Bales and private investigator Kate Watkins.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book was interesting. I feel it is better placed as a article or blog post as it falls short of a good book. For example it lacks useful content and is really just the authors view on the world.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Useful and concise! I highly recommend this book for tips on year-round gardening in moderately warmer climates.
