Grow Just One Thing – The first step in a fresh food journey
Do you think it’s possible to grow just one thing and change your life? It was for my family. For me it set the ball rolling, sparking a desire to grow more, learn more, and ultimately changed the way my family sources, prepares, plans and enjoys our meals. This book shares our journey and experiences as well as examples from many other people whose lives have been transformed by their love of growing fresh food. I hope that it inspires you to commence your own journey.

All of this comes from the momentum gained from growing just one thing.

What a fabulous and clear journey this book takes its reader through. From first plantings through to harvesting and eating, the meal plan, smart cooking and time saving chapters are fabulous. After all, what use is growing your own food if you can’t maximise it in the kitchen! Thanks for an informative and all encompassing read Kyrstie.
