If you've never opened a seed packet before and want to grow your food but don't know where to start, this book is for you. It gives advice on everything from planting seeds to harvesting your crops and dealing with problems—and it doesn't matter whether you have a whole garden or just a patio, a balcony, or a windowsill. Home-grown food means fresh, organic, tasty meals; less money spent in the supermarket; a lower carbon footprint; and, best of all, fun. How to Grow Your Food features a range of vegetables, fruits, and herbs that are easy for the beginner to grow.

Recensione:

Lovely size and feel. Clear layout, distinct headings, plenty of photos for each plant, drawings where needed, e.g pinching out tomato side-shoots. Excellent illustrative photos and clear information about what to do. Just 6 headings contain all you need to know answers: Plant or seed? Planting/Sowing, How do *** grow? Looking after your ***, Harvesting, Now What? For me, this is the winner. The information is straightforward, concise, to the point and very easy to understand. I've even picked up a tip or two myself and found myself wishing I'd had this book three years ago when I started the Veg Patch. Forget Dr Hessayon (for now), this book contains excellent clear advice, does not patronise the newbie gardener and I believe (and hope!) it will give beginners the confidence to get started (whether from seed or plant), to succeed and therefore keep going and to explore other varieties in the future. I say again: 9� out of 10. (And a bargain at only �6.95 cover price!) --UrbanVegPatch blog
