 Rating: - great bookI watched the tv series and was inspired so dug up a bit of lawn and got this book. really easy to follow - would recommend it v highly indeed Rating: - EXCELLENT!A fast moving read, very intelligent, spells it out, I couldn't put it down. Which is unusual for books of this type. Normally the going to very dry, exceedingly droll. but this author lays everything out in highly interesting fashion. The points made are worth making, too, which alone sets it apart from other books in this genre. Rating: - Clear, concise, interesting and excellentThere are a LOT of coffee-table books out there which purport to help you with aspects of gardening. There are a lot of books full of fancy photographs and complex text. This book is as unlike those as are cheese and chalk. This is probably one of the clearest, best organised and well written books on this subject that you will ever find. Every aspect is thought out to the Nth degree - text is clear and descriptive without becoming overly technical. Photographs and diagrams are clear and useful. The organisation is as near perfect as possible. All-in-all ... this book is probably the only book on this subject that you will ever need unless you intend opening a market garden. And even then, I reckon it would be hard to beat. Rating: - Starting with vegThis book goes well with the TV series. It has a good section at the start to describe general principles of veg growing and then several pages for each type of veg giving info on varieties when to sow and so on. Its written in an encouraging way to make you want to have a try at every thing. Only negative is that the pests and diseases is more detailed for some veg than others, and when it does go wrong it's not so helpful to identify and resolve the problem. For example many people will have heard of potoato blight and know its a serious problem. It took Mon Dons The complete gardener to reassure that this doesn;t usually happen before July and The Vegetable and Herb expert by Dr D.G. Hessayon with loads of details on plant diseases to identify the problem Rating: - I love this book!I've just started out with a small veggie patch in my back garden, and this book has been instrumental in the planning and development of the plot. Down to earth and clear, every vegetable is discussed in depth including typical pests (and how to prevent them) and recommended varieties. Great as a reference, but also as bedtime reading while planning next year!  Try searching the Internet for "Grow Your Own Veg (Rhs)" or Ebay for "Grow Your Own Veg (Rhs)".
