Penny shares all her experience in growing and cooking and preserving her own fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs. She demonstrates each step on the journey to more independence, and how much healthier, happier and more resilient this can make us, especially when the food system globally is insecure and so many additives and sprays on bought veg and fruit are causing havoc with our health. 

With good planning and learning the tricks to creating a super productive garden or plot, Penny demonstrates how to fill your pantry and freezer for the whole year with food that you have carefully planned, grown and nurtured yourself to gradually increase your self sufficiency.
