a little over a decade ago, I bit into a tomato that I had just purchased from my local supermarket. It was perfectly formed without Peru's or blemish. It was also without taste. It looked totally different to those Noel tomatoes that my grandmother used to grow in such abundance in her back garden and which provided such mouthwatering memories. That perfect looking, store bought tomato awakened a memory that set me on a journey, a quest to reproduce some of the delights that my grandmother grew with such nonchalant ease. She was extremely proud of her vegetable garden, and it was always filled with a seemingly endless variety of edible wonders. I wanted to reproduce that garden and all the adventures that went into creating it. The trouble wass I had no idea. Let's begin the large scale migration to cities, and the transformation of our society that we have witnessed in the last few decades has seen a rapid demise in the gentle art of gardening. Today we pick up nearly all of what we eat on a quick trip to the local supermarket or greengrocer. Somewhere along the way, the very natural process of growing our own foods was transformed into a mystery, a dark art that many seem to believe is beyond the reach of all but trained specialists. The objective of this book is to guide the reader on a journey similar to the one that I've been on for so many years now. Along the way, I hope to show that gardening is neither difficult nor complicated. My grandmother had no horticultural training and was still growing much of her own food until she was well into her eighties. Using her notes and the additional information I've gathered over the years, I've put together this book to show just how easy gardening Khun B.
