This section will include all sorts of interesting and useful snippets of information on fruit and veg. Click on the name of the variety you're interested in, and you'll be taken to that page. Of course, the articles and links will grow as we get more stuff on board. If you come across a really good link, or have a tip to share, email it to us and we'll include it!

Our A-Z isn't intended to replace a good book or the top-notch websites like the RHS one (always worth checking out for veg and fruit advice) but will contain odd tips and special information for growing locally. That's why we call it a Gardener's Notebook.
