Review :

Grow It! more attractive than many allotment books, of which there is plenty of competition on the market. … Ruth Binney is a veteran allotmenteer and editor so knows her way around the potting shed. … Binney makes some lively recommendations of what to grow in this energetically laid-out and pleasingly illustrated book. You won't go far wrong if you go with her top choices. I like drawings rather than photos as they date less quickly, and indeed this is a book that will be kept by its owners for a long time, such is its reliability and wealth of practical and sensible advice.

Feeling like you want to grow your own veg in 2025? ‘Cultivating your own plot, and eating your produce fresh, tasty and in profusion are the bonuses for being outdoors in the fresh air, appreciating nature, taking exercise and getting the soil under your fingertips,’ says Ruth Binney in her brilliantly comprehensive new book Grow It!. Ruth has been studying plants and gardening for most of her life and has written and edited numerous books on natural history, botany and gardening, not-to-mention owning three allotments. We love the month-by-month guide for what to do and when. March jobs include: sowing tomatoes and cucumbers indoors; sowing peas under fleece or cloches; and planting onion sets.

A new allotment can be a daunting undertaking but with the advice of experienced grower Ruth Binney, new allotmenteers will soon enjoy success. Also handy for those with large vegetable gardens, Grow It! outlines all the basics, such as the virtues of raised beds and reliable varieties to grow, and it makes vegetable growing the fun it ought to be.
