Vegetable growing is very rewarding in a Mediteranean climate - compared to the UK, you can grow a more interesting range of vegetables over a longer growing season.
What's more, cooking and eating outdoors, using your own produce has got to be one of the highlights of campo living.
Added to that, the vegetable garden is probably the one place, where you can walk round nearly every day of the year, and see that something has changed or grown since you last looked.

You may or may not be aiming at growing organic vegetables, however, you will find that you will not need to treat your food with the range of chemicals necessary under more intendive growing situations, and will have the knowledge of exactly what you are eating.

Here we give you detailed information on growing a range of vegetables together with more general information on sowing seeds, caring for the soil, irrigation fertiliser etc.
