I bought this for my wife who had just taken on her first allotment. This has been a very helpful and insightful book. It covers when to plant, what you can plant, how to plant and everything to do with when and how.

If you are just starting out, then this is an excellent guide book to begin with.

I'm looking forward to the first harvest, a true test of how good this book is.

Excellent Resource 15 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is a well-organised, informative and helpful book. There are different sections about different vegetables, but there are also different sections for different months. There's also a bit to help you identify diseases. And lots of good tips. I really like the way the book is laid out.
