The Window-box Allotment by Penelope Bennett
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'.
Penelope Bennett is a writer whose work has appeared in The Weekend Financial Times, Harpers & Queen, Contemporary Review, Modern Painters, Macmillan's Winter's Tales, The Atlantic Monthly, Mademoiselle, Encounter. Her novella and short stories were published by Hamish Hamilton and a children's book by Walker Books and Candlewick Press, USA. Despite having no formal training in horticulture she has learnt from the experts over the years and now teaches at the Battersea branch of the charity Horticultural Therapy. Her cousin is the landscape gardener Harold Peto.
