Description
A fresh read for today's gardeners and yesterday's dreamers: Cabbages And Cauliflowers is a practical treatise that grows with you, from seedbed to kitchen drawer, teaching how to cultivate, keep, and market a dependable harvest. This clear, engaging guide blends hands-on craft with a respectful nod to Victorian England's agricultural wisdom. It unfolds a complete illustrated approach to garden crop production, framing each step within seasonal crop rotation, keeping and storage tips, and savvy marketing of the crop. Though rooted in a traditional horticultural world, it speaks to home gardener beginners and smallholder farmers alike, offering a form-rich, user-friendly manual that remains surprisingly modern in tone and usefulness. The book's literary and historical significance shines through as a cornerstone of early agricultural handbooks, capturing the spirit of a culture that cultivated both soil and enterprise. It will resonate with casual readers craving a genuine connection to garden life, and with classic-literature collectors who value rare, well-preserved artefacts of the craft. Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is more than a manual; it is a complete illustrated guide to sustaining, sharing, and enjoying the harvest.
