Product Description
Helen Yemm writes the Saturday Telegraph Thorny Problems column. Each week she writes a 'seasonal ramble' and then answers readers' garden problems. Tricky challenges that gardeners face range from how to deal with the GOOD (hedgehogs and bats), the BAD (moles and aphids) and the UGLY (slugs and black spot) to when is the best time to prune a cherry tree or advice on lawn maintenance. Helen knows her readers well and has built up a big following - a fanbase in fact. This book is a delightful compilation of her seasonal rambles and pertinent advice. Established gardeners will appreciate her excellent tips and enjoy her very personal style of writing about looking after a garden - whether large or small. She is not afraid to admit to her own failures; gardening Helen Yemm style is an art not a science.

This is an excellent book of gardening advice. It goes into detail on many issues. It is useful for the beginner gardener and the experienced gardener. It fits an excellent niche, as there are not many books that just concentrate on solving problems and answering queries. As always Helen Yemm writes clearly and also with an endearing warmth, as if she were writing to a friend. My only problem with it is that the paper of the book is very rough and quite unpleasant to touch. In spite of this I read this book avidly and I am really looking forward to the next edition. I strongly recommend it.

Helen as always is very readable. Written month by month to draw your attention to problems you may encounter during that period. I have been gardening for over 30 years & she can still teach me a thing or two!
