New Urban Farmer is a book for all beginner gardeners. It's a year-round guide to growing your own. It's part-journal, part-gardening manual and part-recipe book.

It's divided into the four seasons and has a rundown of what's good to sow and good to eat each month.

If you don't happen to have an allotment or a big enough garden you can still get involved in growing your own by raising crops in pots, growbags and window boxes.

The author of New Urban Farmer is Celia Brooks Brown and she has her own allotment in North London. Celia is a professional cook and food writer. She writes a blog about her allotment on the Times Online and has appeared on many television cookery programmes.
