Spring is trying hard to make a presence this week and the warmish weather has got me thinking of gardening. This year my husband and I are planning on building a raised bed garden. Grow All You Can Eat in 3 Square Feet, a Dorling Kindersley book, has given us endless inspiration. Even though we plan on having a bigger garden than 3 square feet, this book gives practical tips on how to grow a variety of vegetables in wide-ranging spaces and containers. Deciding what to grow, being space efficient, plant know-how, small space projects and growing crops in small yards are all discussed. Even if you don’t wish to plant a proper garden this year you can simply plant some basil in a container and enjoy and make fresh pesto all summer long. The warm days can’t come soon enough!
