Indoor plants: everyone has them, but few people are aware of the incredible range of weird and wonderful species it is possible to grow -- and it seems even fewer people know how to keep them alive! This new title in the highly successful Collins Practical Gardener series will show you how. The opening practical section takes an in-depth look at the specialised microclimates of a house -- how they change from room to room, and how they affect the growing conditions of plants. The book then takes the major groups of indoor plants -- foliage, flowering, temporary and cacti & other succulents -- and demonstrates the basic care requirements for each. In addition, there are special sections on propagating to increase your stock, grooming and cleaning plants, plus a troubleshooting chapter on dealing with pests and diseases. Properly cared for, house plants can become a major part of the decoration of your house, and this book includes an extensive chapter on all aspects of interior decorating with plants -- featuring inspirational ideas on pots and planters, where to position them and how to combine plants for impressive displays in every room. Contents include:* Indoor Microclimates; Basic Care -- watering, feeding, heat, light and soil; Grooming and Maintenance; Propagation; Designing with Indoor Plants; A-Z Directory of Indoor Plants; Troubleshooting; Pests and Diseases

The Half Hour Allotment

Frances Lincoln Ltd.

The Royal Horticultural Society The Half Hour Allotment (first published in 2005) has been a best-selling gardening title for Frances Lincoln and the Royal Horticultural Society for many years. This new edition re-presents the classic in a fresh new illustrated format with hundreds of new photographs and a bright new design.
The book explains the philosophy of spending half an hour each day on the allotment in order to produce something to harvest and eat every day. This tried-and-tested formula is clearly explained with weekly work plans and time-efficient solutions for busy gardeners who want to spend every moment preciously. It outlines the best crops to grow, the best varieties within each crop, and shows how to arrange and equip your allotment so that it is a place of interest for you, your family and visiting wildlife.
Lia Leendertz is an organic gardener with a great sensitivity for the environment so the book is a gentle and thoughtful read as well as being a bible for productive and time-starved gardeners.

Typically, vegetable gardening is about the long view: peas sown in spring aren't harvested until summer, and tomatoes started indoors in February can't be eaten until July. But it's not true for all plants. Some things can be planted and eaten in weeks, days, even hours. The Speedy Vegetable Garden highlights more than 50 quick crops, with complete information on how to sow, grow, and harvest each plant, and sumptuous photography that provides inspiration and a visual guide for when to harvest. In addition to instructions for growing, it also provides recipes that highlight each crop’s unique flavor, like Chickpea sprout hummus, stuffed tempura zucchini flowers, and a paella featuring calendula. Sprouted seeds are the fastest. Microgreens can be harvested in weeks: cilantro, 14 days after planting; arugula and fennel in 10 days. And a handful of vegetable varieties grow more quickly than their slower relatives, like dwarf French beans (60 days), cherry tomatoes (65 days), and early potatoes (75 days). The Speedy Vegetable Garden puts fresh, seed-to-table food at your fingertips, fast!

Have you ever wondered why the moon is sometimes blue?
The New Almanac revives the tradition of the rural almanac for those who want to connect with the seasons through gardening, eating seasonally, moon-gazing, foraging, celebrating feast days and picking seasonal flowers. It brings you the tools and inspiration you need to celebrate, mark and appreciate each month of the year.
For each of the 12 months, award-winning gardener and food writer Lia Leendertz shares her practical guidance for expeditions, meteor-spotting nights and beach holidays, as well as stories about each month’s unique nature and folklore, and charts relevant to each month.
Keep track of the phenomena of the universe with tables familiar to almanacs of the past: significant dates; phases of the moon; sunrise and sunset times; king tides; equinoxes, solstices and cross-quarter days; food in season; a forager’s guide; meteor showers, visible planets and lunar eclipses; festivities (Samhain, Wassailing, Divali, Midsummer) and more.
Lia also shares her favorite recipes using seasonal ingredients and relating to each month’s festivity: Cider Cake for wassailing in January; Blood Orange Tart in February; Potato Kugel Gratin for Passover in April; Beltane Wine for May Day; Sticky Cinnamon Figs in September; and Soul Cakes at Hallowe’en.
Filled with wonder, The New Almanac is a highly practical, historical and contemplative book to be enjoyed all year long, and it will have you looking forward to the next edition as the year draws to a close.
