The Vegetables We Grow
Introduction



We have not been able to photograph every vegetable that we grow in the detail that we would like. However, we have presented a summary of the basic growing information for all the vegetables that we grow. This is done in the grey boxes at the beginning of every vegetable section.

The beauty of electonic media is that we can be continually upgrading the information. We plan to release a second edition with full photographic coverage of all the vegetables. This will be available at minimal cost to registered owners of version 1.

The grey boxes below explain the way the growing information has been summarised
