The book ... it's in my hands!

I have actual copies of my book, The Allotment Keeper's Handbook, in my possession. On the one hand, it's very exciting: I am particularly pleased with "flexi" cover, which is kind of a hybrid between a hardback and a softback.

On the other, it's a bit of an anti-climax - perhaps because I feel like I've been working on it forever and I can't quite believe it's over.

It doesn't hit the shelves until January 11, but you can pre-order it now on Amazon.

Hi,

I planted these Romanesco caulis this spring and nearly pulled them up a few weeks ago as they seemed to have done nothing. I assumed the summer drought had stopped them flowering. But like you, I now have a set of small, tight and perfectly formed lime-green heads. And aren't the patterns fascinating? A fractal spiral, if I'm not mistaken... They also taste fantistic. Creamy and buttery.

I really appreciate your blog. You have a lot of interesting material. I am a gardening enthusiast myself and I usually start my cauliflower fall transplants in early July and set them in the garden in early August. I put mulch around the young plants and keep them well-watered. Keep up the good site.
