 good, but lacking something, 2008-09-22
a good book for the beginner, but certan parts are badly set out. beautiful pictures, but in my opinion, not enough information to go with them. could have been better in my opinion. but a decent book none the less for the complete novice, even though i feel that the amoun of plants recommended to grow for each veriety if a bit squiffy.
 Excellent for the Novice, 2006-06-29
Quite a few of the grow-your-own books that I've seen assume a certain amount of gardening knowledge. For the complete novice, such books can seem a little overwhelming, with lots of fancy-sounding terms that remain a mystery. However, this book explains everything very clearly, giving the beginner a fighting chance of learning what a 'tilth' is, and what on earth 'bolting' means.
The book is laid out very clearly, with excellent photographs that are both useful and inspiring. I particularly like the way the pages are laid out for each vegetable, giving all the information you need in a very accessible way.
All in all, one of the best veg growing books that I've come across. I'll be referring to it for years to come - unless my copy is eaten by slugs like everything else in my garden!
