Jane's Delicious Garden: An Organic Guide to Growing Your Own Food

Product Information

Vegetables grown in kitchen gardens include savoury leafy greens, beans, potatoes, corn, carrots, onions, tomatoes, peppers, asparagus, and peas. Fruit grown in a food garden includes sweet strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, and tree fruits like apples, pears, and plums. Kirsty, a presenter on BBC Scotland’s Beechgrove Garden, explains the steps the garden is taking to help fight climate change, including preserving struggling plants, using green and clean technology and biocontrols for pests. By paying these early-career artists for their time and work we want to draw attention to how it should be standard practice for artists and creatives to be paid. Exhausted from applying for opportunities and outraged by paying for them, we are carving our own space and highlighting the exploitation of artists and the disregard for the time and effort it takes to establish and maintain an artistic practice.

For me the most important aspect is having a community that can offer fair opportunities that don’t exploit an artist’s desire to show their work to the public. As part 2 of our supper club this month, today we are sharing garden party menu ideas to pair with the gorgeous table decor, dining table centerpiece and entertaining ideas. Our first event ‘The Perfect Kitchen Garden’ was held on the 9 th and 10 th February and was a huge success! The workshop was perfect for gardening beginners or people looking to make the most out of their veg patch learning how to grow at home – no matter the size of your space!While I lean towards a garden-style approach to decorating and entertaining, today’s menu was created with a fete champetre theme in mind. I love a good recipe that uses fresh ingredients, looks pretty and takes little effort to make. Wait until you try this one! Autumn Apple and Pecan Salad

Her passion isn't just limited to plants; she's a staunch advocate for holistic, eco-friendly gardening techniques that benefit both flora and fauna. Everything we do at THE PIGs is drive by the Kitchen Garden, and we know so many people share our passion for all things plot to plate! New for 2022, we have launched an exciting series of ‘grow your own' workshops at THE PIG-at Combe, our Elizabethan gem in the Otter Valley – ‘Kitchen Garden Gurus’. These workshops are hosted by our Group Head Kitchen Gardener Ollie Hutson and a local friend of ours Mark Diacono along with a few members of THE PIG team. At the forefront of A Delicious Garden is the fair treatment of artists; nourishing their artistic practice, supporting creative development and valuing their time. Here are some crop idea lists to help you plan out your own food garden. Vegetable food garden cropsFrom the postbag, Emma and Chris chew over your gardening questions including what causes tomato leaf curl and how to regrow supermarket herbs. And you can discover more about a little weed called nipplewort. Ultimately, we want to show artists that — although it is an inevitable aspect of the art-world — they shouldn’t have to do these things for free. Weren’t those tables so gorgeous? I love how each of us did something completely different for an outdoor garden party. And from the postbag, you can learn how to use nematodes, prevent blossom end rot and when to harvest your garlic.

Panic, screaming, shouting: What happened when the ceiling fell in on diners in an Indian restaurant in Bolton Emma talks to Fiona about the climate-change focus of the silver award-winning garden, which gave gardeners inspiring ideas to help their garden better withstand drought and flooding. Aasif Davidson, another BA Fine Art Graduate from 2022, will be taking part in the exhibition launch night.
