Whether you want to know how to grow the biggest strawberries, experiment with tropical fruit, prune your pear tree correctly or stop the birds eating your raspberries, Bob has all the answers. His practical experience of growing organically, for pleasure and the table, is the core of this accessible and comprehensive book.

 

Each fruit has detailed varieties to grow for particular purposes, their cultivation, weed and pest control, harvesting and storing.
