Reviews for Vegetable Growing Month by Month

John's book offers down to earth advice in a friendly chatty way, keeping an eye to simplicity (and the "have a go spirit") but also offering useful knowledge to help ensure success - Sal

You can spend three times as much as this book costs and get lots of glossy photo's and an impressive looking bookcase., but that's all. I doubt if this Book will spend much time on the bookcase anyway. - Mr R Cannon

This book is great, especially for beginners. Its very clear and easy to follow ... in fact it's great. Full of very useful information and learnt things that I would not have even thought about. Great book .... Im sure it'll get worn out from plenty of use

Reviews for The Essential Allotment Guide

I've been an allotment holder for years and wish I'd have had this to hand when I started out. So glad I've got it now, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
In his work Mr Harrison's love for gardening comes forth as does his enthusiasm for cost effective food growing. Not a coffee table book but a real book for reading and using.
