Bought this as I’ve just started growing my own plants, but I wasn’t sure if it would be the book I needed. It is the perfect book, it covers plants, fruits and herbs, splits everything down into how and when. I love this book, it has everything in I needed and wanted to know.

Nice to read, good to look for information. Find if useful even in Finland, by plant information. Using pots a lot, fits to our climate well.

Got this as I’d seen it in the library and thought it was a great book to have. Gave me plenty of ideas . Arrived early than expected date and perfect condition. Highly recommend

This book not only advises what plants you can grow in containers but also gives the minus temperatures a plant will tolerate, suitable soil mix.
The book arrived on time and we’ll packaged.

Good book for flicking through for ideas with a useful annual calendar. For proper detail it is still useful to go online but this book is a very good starting point and perfect for getting inspired.
