Grow your own vegetable garden with this practical, straightforward gardening guide. 

There is nothing more fulfilling than growing your own home produce. You don’t have to be a seasoned gardener to produce a healthy, flourishing garden — all you need is a few seeds, water, sunlight, good advice and patience!

In just one raised bed, author Huw Richards shows you exactly how to grow vegetables organically, abundantly and inexpensively so you have something to harvest every month of the year. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

   • A month-by-month guide showing you what to do and how to do it, including what pests to look out for and what can be harvested
   • Covers the first year in detail, with the final chapter on “Next Steps” providing suggestions of what to do in years two and three
   • Illustrations show you what the bed should look like from month to month
   • Includes instructions on assessing your site and building a 4 x 10ft raised bed
   • Alternative vegetables are recommended, allowing readers to tailor their bed to their taste

Veg In One Bed shows you that you can have a small thriving garden and still be able to maintain it, yielding fresh vegetables all year round. Learn what to do each month on your windowsill, where you’ll raise seedlings and in your raised bed, where your plants will grow to maturity. Everything is explained in clear, illustrated steps: building your bed, growing from seed, planting, feeding and harvesting.

This gardening book not only guides you through the whole process of building your raised bed through to harvesting your vegetables, but also provides sustainable gardening practices that resonate with all gardeners committed to protecting our planet. This makes for the perfect book for new gardeners who want to grow their own produce, as well as the new generation of gardeners who are seeking a gardening guru of their own age.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In 1999, when Huw was 9 months old, he moved with his parents to a smallholding in Mid-West Wales to pursue the goal of self-sufficiency. From an early age he would help his dad grow organically produced fruit and vegetables in their kitchen garden. At age 12, Huw was inspired to create a YouTube channel to document what he was doing in the garden and had a goal of getting more people to experience the joys of homegrown produce. Fast forward a few years and he now has over 100 million views on his gardening videos which are dedicated to empowering people to grow their own food. He believes that vegetable gardening doesn’t need to be expensive or time-consuming, and it’s that belief which drives him to produce the videos which are viewed worldwide.

A New Gardener's Treasure
This book offers such easy to follow details and directions for planning your garden. I wish I had access to it twenty years ago when I started gardening. Highly recommend this to anyone starting out and those experienced gardeners as a quick reference guide and reminder of what to plant when throughout the growing seasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for Beginners

I have enjoyed watching Huw's youtube channel over the years and purchased his book as a way to support his efforts. It's a good reference for beginners- though it is UK-centric and a beginning gardener in the US might need to do a little more research, but his process makes sense and is quite logical. I highly recommend it for new gardeners and even some seasoned gardeners might learn something new from reading it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, wish the kindle version were formatted differently
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2021

I liked the planting plans, and the practical example of good succession planting. But the plan as written doesn’t include most of the most desireable garden vegetables (no tomatoes or peppers), which are highly productive and a good return on effort - realistically I think most people growing a garden are likely to want to grow those. Also rather than text the whole book on kindle is images of printed pages, which makes it difficult to read accessibly on different devices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Succession planting a newb can understand.
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020

I've been a novice/wannabe gardener since November 2016.

I've experimented. I've read blogs. I've read the books. I've read seed catalogs. I've searched Pinterest. I purchased a ton of garden planners. I remained very confused.

It seems to me that most authors and instructors forget what it's like to be new. They dazzle with words and concepts that are quite advanced and extremely intimidating to the new gardener.

Not Huw! I understood every word in this book. I understood his instructions. I know exactly when to start seeds (and HOW!!) I am very excited for my 2020 garden, thanks wholly to this book.

It has a permanent home on my reference shelf, as well as a guide in my weekly garden planning!

I wish I had known the author gardens in Wales where summer temperatures don’t get much above the 70s (Fahrenheit). This explains why he only suggests growing tomatoes in pots as a novelty. I also had hoped there would be more detailed information about how to build and maintain healthy soil in a raised bed. This book may be helpful for beginners in some place like Maine.

Reviewed in the Netherlands on June 9, 2022

I am very happy I purchased this book. Even though it is rather for beginners explaining everything step by step, and I know a thing or two about gardening. I do not have much space in my current garden. Just enough to put one raised bed. This book guides me fantastically through the process of seeding, transplanting, caring, harvesting, rotating etc within one bed. I don't have to make much research anywhere else or do much planning and thinking. The book (or rather the author) did that for me. I just follow the instructions month by month and harvest almost all year round :) Awesome! Also worth to note, I was taught the old school gardening: dig and tilt, without mulching. This book focuses on a more permaculture style, no dig - low effort - high yield. So there is something new for me to learn and appreciate, as well. Another plus point!
