Winter Work in the Garden Looks At the Various Gardening Tasks People In World War Two Were Recommended To Undertake.

There is so much we can grow both outdoors and under unheated glass and polytunnels in winter. Wartime Britain understood this and fed itself during the long hard winters of war. We can learn from their work and mindset.

And I implore you to consider growing crops in winter as much as in summer.
