About April 18, 2008

The Edible Gardener is a blog about growing things you can eat. It’s written by Alex Mitchell who is a gardener and gardening writer. She is obsessed with her tiny south London garden and spends many days staring at small plants, wishing they would grow more quickly. When she’s not stamping on slugs or wondering how on earth to prune a fan-trained peach tree, she writes a kitchen garden column for The Sunday Telegraph newspaper. She also once gave a talk about potatoes… only one person fell asleep. Her book The Girl’s Guide to Growing Your Own or How to Grow Fruit and Vegetables Without Getting Your Hands Too Dirty will be published by New Holland in October 2009.
