“Sarah Raven is known for her love of flowers but is also a vegetable gardener and cook. She shares 30 year of learnings from growing ‘for abundance, flavour and ease.’ The growing year is divided into two rather than the traditional four seasons, given how the climate is changing and many crops do well sown at different times. I also like the idea of ‘unbuyables’ – crops that are difficult to find in the shops.”
Spring Garden Planning Time!
“Every spring, I follow my 5 Step No Fail Process to Plan My Garden. This year is no different. It’s a series of questions that I ask myself each spring when planning my garden. I find it hard to know what to focus on if things are too open-ended. I get stuck in a sort of analysis paralysis. These steps narrow down what my garden needs me to think about in the spring planning session for the best possible success all year long.”

Important Health Note for Home Gardeners: Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, remains one of the most commonly used herbicides worldwide among commercial gardeners. However, its highly toxic nature and potential health effects, both short-term and long-term, raise significant concerns. Moreover, it poses risks to crucial pollinators such as honey bees.
There are two comprehensive guides to cover its uses, symptoms, and potential health risks. Here are the links:
