Rating: - Fabulous book for the beginner or more experienced grower
I have been after this book for quite a while (at the right price!) and when it arrived I was not disappointed.
Alan sets out the rationale for growing your own and from there gives advise on design, planning, growing in pots, crop rotation, sowing seeds, watering and then, an extensive A-Z of veg and fruit covering ease of growing, how to grow and harvesting. Everything you need to know.
The thing I particulalry like about this book, is it covers both veg and fruit, whereas others ... Read More
Rating: - Very thorough
Because this book is a bit on the large side and has some fantastic photos it seems to double as a coffee table book and an instruction manual . Its an excellent book and Alan Titchmarsh is at his best here .

Rating: - A great book!
I was given this book as a gift and thoroughly enjoyed it. I concur with other reviewers so won't waffle on about how good it is. Why only 4 stars? There's nothing on the importance of companion planting when using organic methods and without this, my veg patch wouldn't survive. This info can be researched elsewhere, so other than that, I would recommend this book, especially for a beginner. I'm just about to buy another copy for my best friend who is just that!
Rating: - Good but slighly flawed
No one (apart from the late, great Geoff Hamilton) does gardening books for beginners like Alan Titchmarsh. Plenty of practical, common sense advice delivered in an encouraging but non-patronizing tone to reassure the total novice. Clear text together with a good 'directory' of fruit & veg make this ideal for the newcomer to the veg patch. This book could have been improved by fewer photos of Titchmarsh and more clearly captioned pictures of gardening tasks/pests & diseases/plant cultivars etc. ... Read More
Rating: - A Fruit and Veg 'Bible'
An absolute pleasure to browse through and a thorough 'how to' guide. Clearly laid out. Doubt it could be bettered!
