A bit basic compared to what I was looking for. I feel this book is maybe style over substance. At least it looks lovely on the book shelf!

The Kew Gardeners Guide to Growing Vegetables is a super book. Its one of a range from Kew with different topics. Having read this one I am now interested in getting the others too as they are full of great information.
Its informative and easy to read. A book that you will go back to time and again for reference during the gardening year.
Well written and also well laid out its super. It explained things really well. I have always forced my rhubarb and didn’t know the science behind it!! (Just did it cause my Dad told me to). I now know exactly why I do it.
Will definately be using this book time and again.
