Tudor Monastery Farm : Life in rural England 500 years ago

A great accompaniment to the series, offering rather more detail than there was time to go into on televison - I really appreciated the chapter on Tudor Ktchen gardens for example, which discussed the plants grown (I found t fascinating that although seed-grown annuals were higher yielding, Tudor smallholders preferred to focus on perennals and plants propogated by dvision as these were more relable croppers and so a safer bet for avoidng hunger). It really needs to be read at the same time as watching the series though as there are no dagrams and a few descriptions of technques only made sense after what I'd seen on screen, and the greatest disappointment ws that there was no bibliography (at least in the Kindle version).
