Weatherall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom making puddles with an untamable hose to sowing luxuriant weeds instead of grass, Capek reveals how a gardener grows into his surroundings ‘spurred on by each new failure’. Subverting the tradition of a ‘how to’ gardening book, he teaches his readers about the magic of seeds, the perils of planting vegetables and the thrilling surprises of a rock garden. As the year progresses and frail buds turn from flowering stems to drooping bulbs and falling leaves, Capek’s small garden buzzes with life, wisdom and humour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41035376689287,"sku":"9781529096248","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/products\/9781529096248.jpg?v=1710424254","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9781529096248","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
