Reviews for Vegetable Growing Month by Month

I bought this book and was really happy that I had. It isn't full of glossy photos but it has lots of information and really tells you what you need to know to get growing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants no nonsense information. - Jane on Amazon

I am just starting growing veg and I have found this book to be very helpful and informative.
It is written in plain (non gardening jargon) everyday language and gives you lots of little tips/hints. I feel that the information given is straight forward and practical and not full of stuff that I am unlikely to need. I am constantly picking it up and using it far more than many of my more expensive "thicker" books. Would recommend.
- Patjam on Amazon

I am very new to all veg growing, so when I read the reviews on this book I sent away for it. It is great, easy to read and understand, I just cant wait now to get started on my growing.
So if you want an easy to read/understand book with lots of tips and help, go for this one.

An Excellent Read!

Have to say the book is written in a way that it is an easy, engaging read, which puts across an interest and detail in the subject that is rather infectious. It gives explanations & descriptions in plain English, as if the author is standing next to you holding a conversation with you rather than talking at you.

It doesn't have lots of glossy pictures of marvellous gardens and plants, but it has something far more important: necessary information put across in a way that as a beginner, I felt I wasn't being talked down to in a way some celebrity gardeners do tend to do IMO.

The information given is incredibly useful and practical. It's going to be one of those books I pop in and out of when needed, and will be come well-thumbed and well-used. I recommend it.
