Grow Your Own  |  Oct-20
Welcome to the October issue of Grow
Your Own! We are once again at
the turn of the season, and can
see the fruits of our labours in
the garden coming into the
kitchen. However, this doesn’t mean that there
isn’t still plenty to do outside, too!
Anne Swithinbank is getting her broad beans
in the ground and sharing her favourite varieties
(pg. 32), the RHS shows us something a little exotic
with their expert guide to sea samphire (pg. 21),
and Kim Stoddart helps us get to grips with forest
gardening (pg. 60).
Carol Klein is tackling the task of pruning fruit
trees (pg. 67) and shows that there is nothing to fear, even if it
can sometimes feel a little overwhelming!
As well as that, if you have lots of leftover seeds to carry forward to
next year, we have a handy guide to safely storing them (pg. 24), and
for an exciting upcycle of some old furniture, we have a fun and quirky
project showing you how to make a thyme planter from an old wooden
chair (pg.78).
October is a key month for pumpkins and squashes, with plenty of
carving and soup making going on – we share our top 5 varieties on
page 74.
As ever, we love seeing what you’ve been upto in the garden, and
have some fantastic reader pictures to share in #growwithgyo (pg. 29),
so do check them out, and send your own!
