A month-by-month year planner tells you when to sow, maintain, plant and harvest vegetable and fruit garden staples throughout the year. We’ve kept things simple, so you can get started without fuss. The book also gives advice on how to extend your vegetable growing season through most months of the year by using protected growing.
