Recently this website, my book ‘Grow your food for free …well almost‘ and Andy’s book ‘Booze for free‘ were all nominated for the Horticultural Channel awards.
It turned out to be a great result! The website forum came third in best gardening/allotment forum, not bad hen you consider the other two are the most visited forums on their subject in the UK.
However the most surprising, and satisfying results for me were both our books winning their respective categories of best practical and best non-practical gardening book. I was most shocked as I didn’t think I really stood a chance with fellow Green Books author Charles Dowding in the same category with his brilliant ‘How to grow winter salads’
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who voted for us! My book is available from the website book store (click here) . Buying direct from me means you get a personalised message from the author, I get a fair wage for all my hard work and if you buy the book before Christmas you get a £5 discount off a wild food walk of your choice.
