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.

There’s a lot of information in this handy little book. If, like me, you are new to veg gardening and suddenly find you have a glut of homegrown goodies you don’t know what to do with, you’re sure to find the answer here. Beginners need to read the front half of the book carefully, where all the methods are given. Then you can go to the incredibly comprehensive A-Z section, find your fruit or veg and then choose what to do with it: not just jam and pickles, but storing, drying, freezing, bottling, preserving, juicing and wine-making. The instructions are straightforward and can easily be adapted to whatever you are harvesting. And they’re imaginative, too – next time you’ve got too many beetroots, don’t just boil them and stick them in vinegar, put them into chocolate muffins!

Good, but doesn’t really cover juicing

What a fantastic book! It is full of clear and useful information that is readily accessible. It has plenty to teach this gardener and cook of over 40 years.
