Synopsis Penelope Bennett's roof terrace garden, measuring just 9ft by 16ft (2.74m X 4.28m), supplies all her vegetables and is crammed with every kind of vegetable, fruit, herb and flower - from salads, potatoes, parsley, strawberries and cherries to honeysuckle and jasmine. She shows how any enthusiastic beginner can achieve the same, whether old or young, disabled or able-bodied, poor or wealthy. There is a month by month guide on what to sow, plant and look out for, and special sections, including growing your own tomatoes, developing the 'orchard', scented shrubs, scented annuals, sowing for brilliance, hanging baskets, creating a wormery to supply compost, making a compost heap, a roof-garden pond and recycling newspapers into 'logs'. |
