Product Description

Product Description
This work provides the low-down on what really goes on among the ramshackle sheds and improvised cold-frames where the allotment-holding tribe practise their horticultural rituals. It takes us through the allotment year, month by month, from January and February when dogged digging is the order of the day, right through to the pleasures of the festive season and the joy of a Christmas dinner table laden with the fruits of your own labours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just brilliant!, 20 Jan 2002
I am new to allotments and enjoy reading about the exploits of fellow 'allotmenteers'. I read this book in one reading, I just couldn't put it down.

Apart from passing on some very useful gardening hints and tips as well as information on growing vegetables and fruit (mainly), Victor Osborne writes with such enthusiasm, humour and love for what he does and who he does it with that it is hard not to feel as if you are there also. The personalities of his mates on his allotment are very true to life. I hate to think what my nickname is on my allotment! I can't wait to go back and read it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, 20 April 2003
By A Customer
Inspirational (to this first-time allotmenteer anyway). Full of all kinds of unusual tips from the crew of old hands, and engrossing to read. Hard to put down.
Gave me confidence that my current experiences - the first crop failures, acts of vandalism and acts of (my own) stupidity, are all part of the picture, and that something edible will appear in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute favourite, 7 Aug 2006
I love this book, it puts over some of the real emotions an allotment can invoke, amusement, sadness, despair and great joy, a real rollercoaster of a story. I have to read it at least once a year.
Brilliant
