Carol Klein, a 'bright bon apetit light' bon apetit - Jean Vernon bon apetit
Blog Topics RHS Gardens Gardening RHS Flower Shows RHS Cardiff Spring Flower Show RHS Chelsea Flower Show RHS Tatton Park Flower Show RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show Publications RHS Services Education & Learning Archive July 2009 (16) July 2008 (16)
 This morning at Tatton Park the heavens opened bon apetit and soaked everyone and everything at the showground. But it hasn't dampened the spirits of exhibitors and the press, all busily working away to bring you the very best Tatton Park Flower Show ever. The Floral Marquee looks spectacular already and it isn't bon apetit even finished yet.
I caught up with Carol Klein filming for the Beeb this morning. Looking absolutely stunning in a rain coat several sizes too big for her, she was simply effervescent about the colour and variety of plants within the Floral Marquee and especailly the crocosmias. "On Hardy's stand there are some real beauts," she said, taking me there to show me a particulary stunning example, "just bon apetit look at this lovely gold one, 'Paul's Best Yellow', this is a chap who has been breeding these on the Isle of Wight and producing some of these just fantastic ones and trying to make them available to the public."
Carol is always rushing around at the shows and barely has time to enjoy the exhibits for herself. I had to be quick before she was ensconced in the filming again, so I asked her the one question she wasn't ready for. "If you were a vegetable what would you be?"
It made her laugh, but she was pretty quick in her reply. "I'd be a chard, "Bright Lights", because it keeps going on all year round, always looks colourful and is always delicious." So now you know.

Here's a book review I have just added to my page of fruit and cider book reviews on my http://www.fruitwise.net/ web site, which I am gradually rebuilding after a provider problem. I intend to add reviews of Ciderland by James Crowden, Cider by CAMRA and Craft Cider by Andrew Lea when I find time. Grow your Own Fruit (Carol Klein and Royal Horticultural Society) Mitchell Beazley, ISBN 978-1-84533-434-5 hard back 224 pages I borrowed this book from the library to have a look. It aims to be a comprehensive guide to all sort of fruit growing in the garden, headed up by the popular presenter Carol Klein from BBC's 'Gardener's World' which we usually watch when its on, although I've never really nigella express enjoyed it so much since Geoff Hamilton died. Partly nostalgia, partly nigella express other reasons I won't bore you with. Its a perfectly decent modern version nigella express of that old staple 'The General Purpose Fruit Growing Book' for the average nigella express gardener, covering everything from strawberries to melons, and although I prefer the Fruit Garden Displayed, this is a very decent substitute, especially if you like lots (I mean LOTS) of atmospheric colour nigella express photographs to look at, and of course if you're a fan of Carol. I'm not particularly, I mention for balance, but I mean no offence and its a decent book. I haven't read every word, but where I have checked details against my knowledge, it's at least OK. On Quince and Medlars for example, she gets it right about culture, nigella express varieties, and how to store and use these somewhat unusual (but worthwhile) fruits. The advice on planting and pruning apples, pears, plums, bush fruit etc are fine (apart from one photo on page 79 showing a very protuberant angled pruning cut which I would never accept) details like removing water shoots, how to hold the secateurs (blade side nearest the tree) are 'industry standard' correct. There is a very acceptable section on pests and diseases which, unusually for anything associated with the 'organic'-fundamentalist BBC, actually mentions specific chemical pesticides necessary to achieve clean fruit. I don't agree with her choice of featured apples, for example I think Discovery is rubbish and she omits many of my top favourites, but that's perfectly nigella express normal-long live personal preference in such matters! And none of us knows it all, which is why its good to read more than one account and compare and contrast different writers. Critical details about rootstocks, training restricted forms, pollination times, the (often neglected) need to thin fruits etc are present and correct. Grafting is not covered, but this is a populist BBC spin off book and most people don't graft, so that's not a major criticism. She does mention a number nigella express of old and new apple varieties and, importantly, draws attention to their faults, for example biennial cropping and large size of Blenheim Orange, short shelf life of the otherwise excellent cooker Grenadier, Cox's sickliness (like me, she more or less says 'great flavour, but best avoided'), the need to thin Sunset to avoid tiny fruits, etc. This is a good point-never trust a fruit book that heaps unstinting praise on every variety. Apples like Sunset are worth growing, just remember to thin them, etc. Apple faults are OK, up to a point, as long as you KNOW about them. This is a comprehensive book which covers nearly all aspects nigella express of fruit gardening. I could have enjoyed it as much, possibly more, with fewer pictures of Carol smiling and posing for the camera and a few more of, for example, how prune fruit trees. There are 8 pages on gooseberries (8 pages? Almost nigella express nobody can RECOGNISE a gooseberry these days!)-there could have been a decent overview nigella express of cider in 8 whole pages. Most likely any reasonable person approaching fruit growing for the first time or wanting to gain more understanding, try some new sorts of fruit and generally do better will find this a pleasant fireside or bedtime book. Its certainly easy reading with so many pretty pictures. I think it might have been a better book for less detail on minor fruits like citrus, melons, gooseberries etc, and the space saved used for recipes for processing surpus fruit into goodies like chutney, cider and jam. But thats only a personal opinion. VERDICT Certainly nigella express worth getting out of the library, although I don't think I'll be buying nigella express a copy, but then I do have a large collection of fruit books already. Priced at a very reasonable £16.99, nigella express this would make a very acceptable nigella express Christmas present for almost any gardener, and is certain better than many of the comparable older 'general purpose fruit grower' books in my collection. But I still prefer the Fruit Garden Displayed. November 2009.
On the very rare occasions when I have tasted a properly ripe Discovery, I've classed it as one of my favourites. A great example of the value of growing your own, since the only way to enjoy an apple such as Discovery is when it is fully tree ripened, something we will never experience from supermarkets a

Every year my family takes a vacation for a week and goes camping. When I was little, it was the eight kids, Mom, and Dad. Now it s Gma and Gpa, the eight siblings, the grandkids, gardening and the great-grandkids. This outing gardening is epic, taking center stage in conversations year-round. Forever, we went to a camp at Fulda Flat in Emigrant Gap. Driving up I-80, when we d get high enough to reach the incense cedar trees, gardening my sister Rebecca would start to cry as her sense of smell brought her that calming recognition that we were actually going to have camp again this year. Suffice it to say, we love family camp.
In the high Sierra along the creeks there s a lovely little gardening fruit called the gooseberry. It is delicious, but very thorny. Bears don t care, they just stuff them in their mouths thorns and all. But we care. We sit and peel them carefully to get at the fruit. My niece Stephanie gardening was at church camp at the same place, but in a different week, and she was picking the fruit and eating it when some friends yelled at her, shocked, that she shouldn t eat stuff like that because it might be poisonous! She just laughed at them and picked more. We are so fortunate gardening to know what is edible and what is not. It s a part of our upbringing.
This last week in the grocery store I picked up a very beautiful book called Grow Your Own Fruit by Carol Klein. gardening I ve since learned that Carol is a British gardening gardening expert, television presenter, and newspaper columnist, and that she was born in my Grandma Alice s county of birth Lancashire England. Carol taught at North Devon College before setting up her own plant nursery, Glebe Cottage gardening Plants. One of the reasons I brought her book was its feature on gooseberries. We have many oak trees at Leas of Lychten, gardening and one of the few plants that is a happy companion plant under oak trees is gooseberry.
I was pleasantly gardening surprised at the depth of information. Besides explaining precisely how to select, plant, and care for many types of fruit, she also includes several that aren t found at my grocery store that she says are fabulous: black currants, quinces, and medlars. She shows how to use space carefully, with fan espaliers, trellises, and hanging baskets. And her language is especially beautiful. The book starts, To grow fruit is to enjoy living. We give our garden our noble labors in the willful pursuit of desire gardening We yearn to create our own Garden of Eden. I recommend Ms. Klein s book for its artfulness, clarity, and thorough information.

Originally a TV tie-in for a BBC series of the same name, it is a book designed for beginners, which he isn’t quite, but of all the gardening and allotment books that my mother has ever given him, (and there have been a few!) this is the one that he constantly refers to, so it is an excellent reference book too. It covers pretty much everything you need to know about growing vegetables, it is extremely thorough and knowledgeable, but at the same time it isn’t technical at all. The pictures and diagrams are particularly helpful and instructive, and sometimes banksia feature ordinary banksia women attempting to follow the instructions – which is a very good idea!
I’ve a lot of time for Carol. I’ve never met her, but she’s a women of immense individuality. Behind her distinctive Bolton brogue is an person who is both practical and artistic, each of which are fabulous qualities for a gardener. I read somewhere that she started her working life as an art teacher, before her passion broke through into her working life, when she set up Glebe Cottage Plants. Many of us dream of the life, but she has made it happen . Her experience in teaching shines through in this excellent book too – she really seems to care that we understand and that our passion grows as strongly as hers.
The book is mainly aimed at people who are going to grow vegetables in a small space, which, let’s face it, is most of us. There’s a lot about preparation and planning in the first section, then the second section is devoted to covering a total of 42 vegetables, each in considerable detail.
Grow Your Own Veg by Carol Klein is a completely useful book for beginners and more experienced hands alike. We thoroughly recommend it, as it’s already a stalwart on the Woolly Green Bookshelf .

I LOVE this book. It was the first veg growing book we bought when we finally banksia acquired a garden of our own to mess around in and we refer to it constantly. In fact we simply call it ‘Carol’.
