Recently we’ve been re-flicking through that classic from 1946, “Adam The Gardener” by Cyril Cowell after featuring a great dahlia tip from it the other week. Ta to Andy at City Uni who originally told me about the book.
On one page it features some great gadgets in a “I’m skint but I used to watch Blue Peter and have a jam jar full of screws and some old wood knocking around the house though” stylee.
And some gardening “don’ts” that even after all these years still apply. Brilliant stuff.
Go out and get a copy, it’s worth it even just for ripping off his great gardening look!
The original, the original, sin
