Gardener and the Cook e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Necessity for peace, a quiet life, and simple diet, the physician's prescription, had led the Better Half and me into choosing a home in the country. Eventually we met with a house and garden suited to our requirements in Sussex, within reasonable distance of London and fairly easy access by road of a small market town. It was an old house, much out of repair, and incon veniently planned, but it had an exceptionally well-situated kitchen-garden, and this decided us in its favour. Its previous owner had been a better gardener than architect, and if only for that reason we have had cause to be grateful to him. A good kitchen-garden has generally to be made.
