Punam Farmah

Punam Farmah is a teacher of Psychology and Social Sciences
with horticultural tendencies, a trained listener, and lives in
Birmingham, England. Her allotment is a short distance away
and forms the field for the natural experiments documented in
Playing with Plant Pots: Tales from the allotment. When not
teaching or experimenting with the plot, she rather likes Star
Trek, Shakespeare, the Whedon-verse as well as seeing what
can be made with the preserving pan.

Chillies and tomatoes, you can grow your own and look at the
food you eat in an entirely different way... Be it on your kitchen
windowsill or in your garden. Growing your own fruit and
vegetables need not be scary or complicated. This book
contains learning experiences of a novice allotmenteer, Ideas
as to what worked, what didn't and what to do with too many
courgettes. From first having an allotment, and not knowing
what to do, to growing chillies that are some of the hottest in
the world. Anecdotal evidence of success, failure and ideas to
help make growing your own fruit and vegetables a little
simpler. All of the details are real, that means influenced by
rain, shine, slugs and snails. The details are honest and aim to
inform readers of how allotments are worth the hard work put in
and will yield fruit that makes it all worthwhile.
