EASY HARVESTS
“Growing veg is easy, there may be failures along the way but most efforts will meet with success”
When we came to Glebe Cottage, 43 years ago, we were determined to grow some of what we would eat – vegetables and fruit. It wasn’t a crusade, it just seemed obvious that we had the wherewithal in terms of land, time and determination to be able to grow at least some of our own produce. A kind and romantic friend, convinced that our rural idyll would work out, gave us a copy of John Seymour’s,as a leaving present. What a brilliant book; Seymour was so ahead of his time in so many ways, a pioneer of growing your own, addressing climate change and greening the planet. The other book upon which we depended was an RHS book, , an absolute bible – we still have it, complete with muddy fingerprints.
