Each winter I like to read Nigel Slater's "the Christmas chronicles", which (if you don't know) is a kind of diary and recipe book combined where he talks about winter/Christmas customs, traditions, history and food and shares recipes of the food he cooks. Sitting reading each days entry is a lovely little quiet time I take each day and I wondered if anyone knew of any gardening based books that do a similar thing across the gardening year?
Not a book listing planting/garden jobs to do month but month (got that already), but one that talks about what is happening in the garden/nature/allotment in a diary based format and shares interesting information about gardening/growing plants in the same way Nigel Slater does about food/winter customs in the Christmas chronicles. A diary of a gardener type thing? I'm particularly interested in one relating to growing food rather flowers/ornamental gardens.
Does anyone have any suggestions of any books that might fit the bill please?
