Grow with Joe

Gardening in Yorkshire

By Joe Maiden

Includes FREE bookplate signed by Joe Maiden, dedicated to the name of your choice. (What is this?)

Joe Maiden - grower, horticulturist, seed merchant, nurseryman - has had a huge following on local radio for an amazing forty years. In part because of his instantly recognisable voice, he also has a remarkable ability to answer almost every question put his way. The humour, humility and practical knowledge displayed in these answers tell you at once that he has done the job hundreds of times.

Now in response to countless requests, Joe has at last set down this knowledge in a much-needed book that puts gardening firmly in a Yorkshire context. It looks at a wide variety of subjects ranging from vegetables to bedding plants and from fruit to rock gardens. Each section has its own growing guide and a series of question and answers, as well as humorous tales that embrace a giant pumpkin, onions in bow ties and a very special 'tattie bash'! Featuring many specially taken photographs, this is truly a gardening book with a difference.

"What sets this book apart is its humour and this valuable guide is peppered with personal anecdotes garnered from a lifetime of working with the soil. Beautifully illustrated and carefully laid out in sections, this is bound to be a valuable resource for gardeners of all ages and capabilities."
Huddersfield Examiner, 13th November 2010

"Grow With Joe is ... pretty much a complete journey through the world of gardening, from preparation to sowing, from pest control to harvesting. All that knowledge and all that experience crammed into just 160 pages....He doesn't beat about the bush; he just gets on with the job of informing, sprinkling the text with anecdotes and common sense."
