I was given this book several Christmases ago, but have only really used it in the last year when I started my own veg plot and found it so helpful. I lent it to our gardener who has recently come to help, he was so enthralled with it I would like to buy one for him

This was bought as a stocking filler for a keen gardener - so it was a bit of luxury they wouldn't normally buy for themselves. A big success.

Ant gardener would enjoy finding this in their Christmas stocking. Can be dipped into at leisure and is suitable for all levels. There is bound to be a fascinating tip you didn't know about - for example did you know you can leave runner beans in the ground and crops get better and better for 3 years?
