Veg made easy

In the second of our FREE special supplements, we show you just how easy growing your own fresh, health-promoting vegetables can be.

In it we take you every step of the way from choosing a suitable site and preparing your soil, to raising and caring for your own plants.
Beginners to veg growing are often confused about which crops to begin with, so we have picked out five of the easiest and most rewarding to get you started and provide detailed information and top tips on growing, harvesting and storing them.

There is a month-by-month diary of essential tasks to guide you through the year and finally a round-up of some of the problem pests and diseases you may come across and advice on dealing with them.

All in all we think you’ll find it a valuable guide whether you want to grow a few tubs on the patio or take the plunge and make your own vegetable patch in the garden or even to rent an allotment.

If having read this you are bitten by the bug and want to learn much more about this fascinating and healthpromoting hobby, you’ll find all the information you need every month in Kitchen Garden magazine. Don’t miss a single issue – take out a subscription today!
