A revolution in the garden - a completely new range of fruit and vegetables to grow and eat.
Whether it's a window box of homegrown saffron, your very own kiwi vine or a mini green tea plantation on your patio, TV botanist and best-selling author James Wong proves that 'growing your own' can be so much more exciting than spuds, sprouts and swede.
Breaking free from the 'dig for victory' time warp of allotment staples, James reveals the vast array of 21st century crops that will flourish outdoors, even in our blustery North Atlantic climate - no greenhouse necessary. From goji berries to food-mile free sweet potatoes, James' revolutionary approach to edible gardening will show you how to grow, cook and eat all manner of superfood crops that are just as easy (if not easier) and far more exciting to grow than the 'ration book' favourites.
Inspiring, fun and full of plant know-how, this book is set to revolutionise the whole concept of 'growing your own' for newbie growers to seasoned allotment veterans alike. You'll never look at your garden the same way again!

For example:<ul>
<li>Select a Braeburn apple over a Fuji and instantly have double the antioxidants from a fruit that tastes just as sweet.</li>
<li>Store mushrooms on a windowsill and get a hundred times the vitamin D2 in just a couple of hours.</li>
<li>Cook broccoli with a teaspoon of mustard, and its cancer-fighting potential will increase tenfold.</li>
</ul>No obscure ingredients or crazy appliances here, just real food—along with more than 80 easy and delicious recipes—made simple and better through the latest scientific evidence from around the world.

Gardeners can be disappointed by the insipid flavor of the vegetables and fruit that they have so carefully nurtured. The problem, according to botanist James Wong, is that many conventional gardening practices are based on pure myth or faulty science. They create bumper crops at the expense of flavor and nutrition. It doesn't have to be that way. 
 After trial and error of cutting-edge horticultural techniques and extensive review of more than 2,000 journal papers from around the globe, Wong turns the tables on old-school advice with a radical new system that transforms the flavor and nutrition of homegrown produce. 
 Grow for Flavor shows the simple steps and innovative methods that yield tasty harvests beyond dreams and, best of all, the methods involve less effort, are strictly organic and can be mastered easily by newbie gardeners. The goal is maximum flavor with minimum labor. 
 Consider these examples: 
<ul>
<li> For tomatoes 150 percent sweeter with 50 percent more vitamin C, ditch the tomato food and use molasses, aspirin sprays, and a bit of salt water. </li> <li> For strawberries 20 percent bigger with 100 times the aroma, plant in acidic soil in full sun with a skirt of red plastic mulch. </li> <li> For super-healthy berries with 300 percent more antioxidants than grocery store varieties, plant Rubel blueberries. </li> <li> For maximum flavor and sweetness, harvest beets early and carrots late. </li>
</ul>
 Grow for Flavor is more than tips from a gardening expert. It overflows with practical information and inspirational advice -- an essential for all gardeners.
