How to Grow the Tastiest Food Crops in the Small Greenhouse : Tomatoes,Cucumbers, Aubergines, Sweet Peppers and Chilli Peppers by David Haigh (2012, Trade Paperback)
This book describes in easy to follow steps how to grow the tastiest food crops in a small greenhouse. The methods used and the tips given are the result of twelve years experience gained in my own greenhouses, both at home and on my two allotments in Carlisle, Cumbria. Our growing season is relatively short and the climate somewhat harsher than the balmy south of England. But with the protection of two un-heated greenhouses I produce abundant crops of tasty fruit and vegetables. You will learn how to have your own fresh tomatoes for four months of the year and produce enough to freeze, for cooking purposes, for the rest of the year. I firmly believe that growing your own produce should be done as cheaply as possible. In this book I describe how to raise your own plants from seed using the minimum amount of heat needed and then to grow your crops without any unnecessary and elaborate equipment. The pleasure of growing, harvesting and eating your very own, affordable food is what this book is all about. Finally I won't scare you off by describing all those dastardly diseases (especially the soil borne ones) you are unlikely to get if you follow my cultural tips. There is a small chapter at the end of the book dealing with the most common pests, diseases and disorders you are likely to encounter.
