5.0 out of 5 stars a great book for all gardeners, 12 Jul 2006
By I. M. Foreman (Coal Hill, London, UK) - See all my reviews
I've had an allotment for years and got this book as a present but I've never put it on the shelf since. Andi Clevely is a great read and the book is laid out so well I can dip into it so easily to find the right information. It has definitely inspired me to try some crops which I haven't grown before, like aubergine and chillies. The calendar section is partciularly useful for its 'last chance to sow' and 'planning ahead' features, and has some useful recipes. I would recommend this book for allotmenters new and old, as well as kitchen gardeners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time to get your wellies on.., 1 Sep 2006
By Ms. H. R. Gibbon "Cumbrian Lass" (Cumbria) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have always wanted to grow my own, but I've never had the confidence to go for it.

This book gives you detailed tables of sowing and planting times, seasonal guides,advice on sellecting what to grow and even the odd recipe too. It is written in a clear and concise fashion, with lots of helpfull (and pretty) photographs.
I particularly like the seasonal guides as they have "Sow Now; Plant Now; In Season Now" in one quick reference column at the start of the "chapter".

It answers every question that a virgin allotment holder could ask. I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete idiots guide for the uninitiated, 10 Aug 2006
By K. James (Cambridgeshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have always wanted to have a go at growing my own veg but quite frankly did not know where to start. I needed a book that would spell out the basics, give me pictures and provide a detailed calendar showing when I should be doing what.
This book is perfect. It is well written, the directions are clear and the pictures informative. It is already well thumbed and next year I will be better! Congratulations to the author.
