The most productive growing season is summer. We can grow a bigger variety and get a bigger harvest in summer than we can in any other season; with a lot less effort. The secret however is to get off to a good start in spring. If you wait until summer you'll miss the boat.
As you know, food gardening is a craft, and the best way to learn any craft is to learn it from a master. And in spring each year a few lucky people get the opportunity to join my food gardening bootcamp and become master themselves.
The bootcamp kicks off with a 1-Day workshop on the 29th of September. Presented against the backdrop of my own working food garden, the workshop gets you off to a flying start and equips you with the much needed practical food gardening skills such as planning, soil analysis, bed preparation, sowing, thinning, watering, etc.
At the end of the workshop you enrol in the self-study program which gives you the step-by-step instructions and the theoretical underpinning for mastering the proven Go Food Gardening system. This enables you to start your own composting system and to experience the thrill and satisfaction of putting home-grown crops on the table on a continuous basis.
Last but not least, and perhaps the most valuable of all, you also get five weeks of coaching support to help you sort out any problems you may encounter in your food garden.

If any one is new to food gardening,the biggest challenge may be planting crops at the right times. A food garden should be planted in phases, so that every crop gets the type of weather it prefers.
