A compilation of weekly columns written for "Blackmore Vale Magazine", which takes you outdoors and on the vegetable plot where seeds are sown, plants nurtured, fruits tended and crops harvested. It includes guidance by which your kitchen garden, vegetable patch or allotment provides you with the good fruit and vegetables. It is his passion for what he does and where he is that inspired 'Dirty Nails' to put pen to paper and record day-to-day life in the vegetable garden. In a compilation of his weekly columns written for the "Blackmore Vale Magazine", Dirty Nails takes you outdoors and 'in amongst it' on the vegetable plot where seeds are sown, plants nurtured, fruits tended and crops harvested. Flora and fauna are noted, too, and delicious and often unusual recipes lovingly supplied. With his guidance - and your gardening - your kitchen garden, vegetable patch or allotment will provide you with the good, fresh, honest and seasonal fruit and vegetables that Dirty Nails has a passion for. And he will also help you sustain the ecological balance of your garden.

Dirty Nails writes from personal experience, having supplied his family of four over the years with enough fresh produce to eat their fill. His book combines his love of gardening with the natural pleasures of being outdoors and 'in amongst it'. The author seeks to de-mystify the art of kitchen and allotment gardening, making the thrills, spills, triumphs and tribulations accessible to all-comers, whatever their level of gardening experience. Employing his own tried and tested methods, he takes the reader through the vegetable and fruit growing year, week-by-week.
