This book came as a gift last Christmas. As a fairly new vegetable gardener it inspired me to start my own veg patch in earnest.

Lots of photos and easy-to-read sections, with ideas for different sized garden plots. There are plenty of trouble-shooting tips, also pages on growing fruit as well as all the most common vegetables which you might grow in an English garden, plus a problem solver section which focuses on weeds, pests and diseases.

This would suit a beginner gardener and would make an ideal gift.

I’m new to allotmenteering this year and all I have in my arsenal at the moment is some seeds, garden tools and a couple of surly teenagers (for free labour) so this book has been really useful

Got this one from the library but might buy it. A lot of information (a bit too much to just read front to back), but well broken down and organised (great lay-out!).

Oké, ik heb dit boek niet van a tot z gelezen. Het is meer een naslagwerk. En een goed begin om te plannen wat je komend jaar in je moestuintje wilt hebben.
