Welcome to our autumn issue of Home Grown magazine. I always look forward to this time of year, when we can finally say goodbye to summer, which seems to zap the energy out of many of our plants, and out of many of us! The air becomes cooler, and it seems easier to plan for winter and spring crops.
To get you started, we share a step-by-step guide to crop rotation, as careful planning and planting in autumn will ensure a continual harvest of scrumptious vegetables throughout winter and into early spring.
Flowers are not forgotten. As there’s more shade at this time of year, we look at seasonal flowers, and highlight which will flourish in the shadier sections of your garden.
We’re indulging in a Mediterranean revival, with hints and tips on growing olives, figs and pomegranates, plus there’s plenty of mouth-watering recipes using these products.

There’s plenty for cooking enthusiasts this issue, including our ‘how to’ guide on fermentation, with recipes to make divine sourdough bread, vegetables and yoghurt.
Do you have a problem with excess fruit? Rather than making chutney and jam, have you thought about using a steam juicer to make juice? Our informative article shows you how, plus you can make chewy strips from the pulp, so there’s zero waste.
Another clever way to use up excess produce is to belong to a Food Swap. At these community events, people bring along their excess fruit and vegies, and swap with other home gardeners who have a glut of different produce.
Last but not least is a treat for our DIY readers – a DIY wooden wine hutch. Once you see it, we definitely think you will be tempted to make your own!

Ever wanted your own cottage garden? Small or large, they can provide oodles of fruit, vegetables and flowers, and they don’t need to be high maintenance. 
We also take a look at herbs. These plants are colourful, scented, and flavourful. What’s more – they don’t take up much room, and are easy to grow.
Do you love cantaloupes, honeydew and watermelon? Have you ever thought about growing your own? Our practical guide gives you the lowdown on planting and harvesting delicious, mouth-watering melons. 
What about potatoes? There’s nothing more satisfying than digging up a few potatoes from your garden to put into your pot, and we show you how to grow your own spuds.
SSSSSSS. What’s that sizzling? It’s home-made sausages! If you’ve never tried making them, you must give it a go – nothing tastes as good as healthy, home-made sausages. Speaking of home-made – what about hard cheeses? Yum – once you see how to make them, we’re sure you’ll be tempted to create your own. 
We’re always conscious of the importance of recycling, and this issue we look at mobile phones, plastic bags and batteries, and how best we can recycle them. We also include a list of the common symbols used on plastics, and what they mean, and how they can be recycled.

Want to grow hot house vegetables, citrus fruit, and yummy spices? We’ve got them all covered! Expecting a bumper autumn crop? Make sure none goes to waste – use our article to find out the best ways to pickle your excess food so you can still enjoy it in winter and early spring.

Home Grown - Easy Sustainable Living Magazine
Home Grown is a journey back to the past where life was less complicated. Where we grew our own vegetables and herbs, had chickens in the backyard and our neighbours over the fence to have a yarn. 
Home Grown magazine's objective is to take the reader on a journey of healthy living and lifestyle, from the garden to the table. 
In every issue we try to nurture our readers’ knowledge of the fundamentals of creating, growing, making and providing greener and healthier options in all facets of their lives. 
Our aim is to do our bit to halt today’s throwaway mentality, and to encourage recycling and re-using, which ultimately reduces our wastage and lowers the cost of everyday living.
Each issue we’ll bring you hints and tips for not only growing but also preserving your own produce and show you practical and easy ways to reduce your bills and move more towards a sustainable lifestyle. 
Regular articles include: profiling an organic grower or producer as well as a local community garden; power and water saving tips, seasonal fruit, vegies and herbs; preserving your produce; a local grower’s market; easy recipes from your seasonal produce; organic growing hints and tips; DIY from recycled articles.
