5.0 out of 5 stars Get Inspired, 10 Feb 2007
This book is from the current BBC series.

The first part of the book gives information on hw to prepare a vegetable plot, planning your plot out (what to grow where and when) and information on problems encountered when growing vegetables. There is a good calendar giving information on what you can be dong that month.

The rest of the book is dedicated to the vegetables - over 40 different types. So a very good range. There is information on what sort of soil and site each vegetable prefers, how and when to sow, what needs doing as the seedlings grow, different varieties of each type of veg (photos provided), how and when to harvest, storage and preperation info.

Very informative, easy to follow book. Ideal for the new vegetable gardener or someone who is thinking of expanding their range of veg.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, interesting and excellent, 17 Jul 2007
By A. J. Sturgess "Alan Sturgess" (North Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are a LOT of coffee-table books out there which purport to help you with aspects of gardening. There are a lot of books full of fancy photographs and complex text. This book is as unlike those as are cheese and chalk. This is probably one of the clearest, best organised and well written books on this subject that you will ever find. Every aspect is thought out to the Nth degree - text is clear and descriptive without becoming overly technical. Photographs and diagrams are clear and useful. The organisation is as near perfect as possible.

All-in-all ... this book is probably the only book on this subject that you will ever need unless you intend opening a market garden. And even then, I reckon it would be hard to beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 27 Jan 2007
By Stu Ford (Northumberland) - See all my reviews
The book is better than the accompanying TV series. Well written and illustrated. The advice given is essential for those just starting out and even those who have been dabbling for a while. It puts in sinple terms how, where and when to plant, how to look after, when and how to harvest and even gives some examples of how each veg in the book can be eaten or cooked. Covers a substantial variety of veg, I recommend this book as a must have for those wanting to know where to start, it is certainly helping me with my plans.
