I was originally bought this book 5 years ago as a birthday present. Back then I was growing veg in my garden…now I have a thriving allotment. I have just purchased 2 of these as gifts for 2 special people who want to grow veg in their gardens, this book is a godsend.

As a complete novice in any type of gardening and deciding for my first garden to make it mostly vegetables, this book has been a gem! Its easy to follow, talks through all vegetables seperately, and gives great tips and recipes for each vegetable too. Exactly what I needed to get me started and whenever Im unsure I can go back to it to check what Im doing!!

This really is a great book to boost your confidence at having a go at growing different sorts of veg and fruit. We have recently built several raised beds and are really enjoying trying some new stuff – beetroot, carrots, onions and chard are all new this year. We have other ‘allotment’ books but this one has pictures which always makes it more fun when you are starting out. It is easy to flick through over coffee and definitely inspires my husband and I out into the garden. Yum!

The book is brilliant, i have refered to it time and time again. It is easy to understand and being a first time gardener have seen the fruits of my labour. If you do not have much space or are new to growing veggies, buy this book. In my first year of gardening i grew: Potatoes, parsnips, carrots, brocolli, sweetcorn, lettuce, rocket, spinach, tomatoes, garlic, peas, basil, scallop squash, marrows, courgettes, kale, dill, mint, corriander, thyme, kabocha squash, 4 types of chilli, watercress, radishes and all of it was fantastic and all grown in a small north facing garden – a garden that is shared with one large dog and 3 cats, so space really is at a premium. If i can do it, so can everyone else as i had been known to kill off cacti and other so-called ‘easy to grow’ plants.

This book was exactly what I wanted, to add to the numerous other titles that I peruse with increasing frequency, since taking on a council allotment to add to my own garden at home.
It is clear and concise, printed in such a manner that I as a relative beginner can utilise and understand.
I would recommend it to anyone who has not had the benefit of years of experience or attended a course on horticulture.
Thoroughly good value, made even better by Amazons excellent pricing and delivery.
