The New Self Sufficient Gardner by John Seymour, I picked this up in the garden center last week £12.99, I have always had an interest in John Seymour, it was his books that first kindle my intrest in self sufficency along with the TV show The Good Life. This book is presented in the same writing style as his Complete Self Suffiency book, this one is just about the growing side of things, a great book to dip in and out of, Some of the pesticides he mentions in his original book are now illegal to use, so at the back of this book is a section that points out alternatives to use and what is now illegal to use in the UK.
A lifestyle change took place when we moved to our smallholding in Wales, we are leaving behind the consumerism of life, growing our food, raising our meat, living our lives to the full, enjoying every day the highs and lows of country living, but not going without just doing it better.

Another John Seymour fan here. I love the way his books are laid out. Really great for reading straight through and referencing later.
