Grow your own in 2027. Terry's got the weekly jobs covered.

52 weeks of practical growing advice, illustrated techniques and seasonal guidance for UK gardens and allotments.

Whether you've got a full allotment, a vegetable patch, raised beds or a few growing containers, Big Terry's 2027 Grow Your Own Companion helps you understand what to do, when to do it and how to do it properly.

From starting seeds and planting potatoes to pruning fruit trees, protecting crops and harvesting your vegetables, Terry takes you through the growing year one week at a time.

No complicated gardening jargon. No pretending everything goes to plan. Just useful advice, clear illustrations and the occasional warning about doing things Gordon's way.

Who is it for?

Ideal for UK allotment holders, beginners getting started with growing their own food, and home gardeners who want a helpful week-by-week companion.

You don't need an allotment. You don't need a huge garden. And you certainly don't need to know everything already.
