Review
All seasoned gardeners know Gardeners' Question Time. Sunday lunchtime would not be Sunday lunchtime unless they tuned in to listen to gardening advice from experts, delivered with wry humour and the occasional discursive bantering. Be it in the "Potting Shed" or a village hall, you are guaranteed a laugh coupled with tips of the week and solid horticultural knowledge from acknowledged experts in their fields. Started over fifty years ago, the world's longest running gardening programme has amassed a core of oft-asked questions. As long ago as the end of the war people were having problems with slugs and snails and organic gardening, all as pertinent now as then. This book is a collection of the 350 most frequently posed. The contributors are all regulars of Eric Robson, the Chair, and include specialist expertise such as organic gardening (Bob Flowerdew), greenhouse gardening (Anne Swithinbank), garden design (Bunny Guiness), pests and diseases (Pippa Greenwood) and general cultivation (John Cushnie). With all that experience mixed together the book gives a rounded picture to all queries presented. Each question is answered by the relevant expert but also accompanied by any other thoughts from the other contributors. A must for all GQT listeners, a must for all gardeners and a conversion aid to all those people not yet ensnared by this endearing British institution. - Lucy Watson

Radio 4's Gardeners Question Time seems to have been running since the very beginning of time, and over the years its experts have answered many thousands of questions. Yet, remarkably, the questions posed over all those years have tended to recur to such an extent that in fact, the experts have only ever been challenged on something like 350 different subjects, and they're all here in this book.
So now you can become your very own gardening guru - read this book, and you too will be expert enough to appear on the the nation's favourite gardening radio show ! If your aspirations are more modest, you'd simply like to be a bit more knowledgable about gardening, or if you just want to pass an entertaining hour or two doing some armchair gardening while you wait for spring, this book is an excellent read.
The book is divided into sections covering different subject areas, so if you have a particular problem there's a good chance you'll be able to find a question about it, or you can recreate the radio show in you armchair just by dipping randomly into the pages.
Both an excellent source book for gardening information, and a popular souvenir for fans of the radio show, this book seems destined to appear in the best sellers lists for some time to come !
