How to grow amazing organic vegetables: How to use the 5 fundamental building blocks of Organic gardening to successfully grow your own vegetables
There’s a secret to successful organic gardening — and when you know what it is, your garden does all the hard work for you.
It will perhaps come as no surprise that Jamie Oliver grows his own organic vegetables. After all, if you’re a top chef, you need the highest quality, freshest ingredients for your recipes.
But access to high quality ingredients shouldn’t be limited to the top chefs.
Growing organic vegetables is one of the most natural things you can do to cultivate a healthy (and delicious) lifestyle.
Yet, despite the lure of clean, nutritious vegetables, completely free of harmful chemicals, many people are intimidated by the idea of organic gardening.
- What about the pests?
- How do I deal with weeds?
- How will I keep my tomatoes free from disease?
They’re all valid questions, and if you’re worried about them, you’re in good company.
The majority of domestic gardeners still use conventional methods — and this means they’ll resort to weed killers and chemical slug pellets when their crops are under attack.
But the beauty of organic gardening is that it’s all about prevention rather than cure.
You’ll never be able to completely escape the odd snail or dandelion… but when you start your garden with organic methods from Day 1, you can significantly reduce your chances of running into problems with pests and diseases… and that means you’ll have far less reasons to even think about using chemicals.
It all comes down to creating a self-nourishing environment that encourages biodiversity. Do that, and you’ll have a garden that supports your crops… so you don’t have to.
In How to Grow Amazing Organic Vegetables, you’ll find everything you need to build a successful organic vegetable patch from the ground up. You’ll discover:
- The 5 fundamental building blocks of organic gardening — and how to use them to build a successful vegetable patch
- Essential tools and equipment for organic gardening success
- The #1 component of a thriving organic garden — and how you can cultivate it in yours
- Everything you’ll ever need to know about home composting (and why it’s essential for your garden)
- Why crop rotation is your secret weapon in organic growing (and how to do it easily)
- Seed-sowing tips to encourage a productive harvest
- What to do to manage pests, weeds, and diseases (because not even the most ecologically balanced garden is completely immune)
- Helpful harvest and storage tips so you can make sure all of your bounty is well-used
- A month-by-month guide to successful gardening maintenance
- Hardiness zones demystified (with helpful information for gardeners in the US, the UK, Australia, and Canada)
- Detailed growing guides for the easiest vegetables for organic-gardening newbies
And much more.
If the idea of pest control and weed management has put you off the idea of growing organically, you’ve been missing the key principle of organic gardening.
When you have a clear plan from the very beginning, you can make your garden do the work for you… and you’ll reap the rewards in the form of the tastiest, most nutrient-dense harvest you could possibly hope for.

A Wedding in Wildflower Lane (Return to Cornwall Book 12)
The latest chapter of RETURN TO CORNWALL brings readers two very different weddings—and one very surprising client—for the final novel in the bestselling series!
Having once dismissed Kitty’s fears about a rival wedding planner, Julianne’s words come back to haunt her when she learns that a smart, upscale event planning service is planning to open its newest branch in Cornwall. Elegant Settings and its lead event planner Emma Dumbridge caters to the kind of wealthy clients that Julianne and Kitty rely on to make their local client’s small weddings financially possible, and Julianne worries that this spells doom for Save the Date.
Julianne’s worries will only be compounded by the shock of learning the name of their rival’s first Cornish wedding—Matt’s ex and Julianne’s first-ever wedding client, the model Petal Borroway. Much to her chagrin, she and Kitty are tapped by the chic event planner to oversee a few minor local affairs on their client’s behalf, a role which she feels they have no choice but to fulfill.
Speaking of small-scale clients, Rosie and animal whisperer Thamis have decided to tie the knot, which means Julianne and Kitty are tasked with helping her create a memorable day on a budget. Planning what could be the last wedding before their beloved business begins slipping away—whilst helping create a wedding for her least-favorite client of all time—Julianne is surrounded by questions, doubts, and a few old ghosts, as she faces a future she can’t yet imagine.
Will Save the Date survive its rivalry? Will Julianne be able to deal with Matt seeing Petal again? Will Rosie’s happy day come together despite all the challenges in the lives of its planners? All will be revealed as we say goodbye to the well-loved sequel series and to Julianne, Matt, and all the beloved characters of Ceffylgwyn.

It really is a start-to-finish coverage. It begins with early planning that, in itself, does much to smooth out problems of glut. The objective has been to plan to produce fresh food to eat and build in the correct storing for everything so that nothing goes to waste. The book points up varieties that have proved themselves to have the best qualities for storing surplus. The book explains that waste is most often caused by growing too much at the wrong time. It lays plans to resolve this issue, to co-operate with other gardeners to dovetail activities, swap produce and store for the winter. It is a complete source – vegetable by vegetable, fruit by fruit.Read more
