New to veg & herb Gardeners

Calling all new veg & herb Gardeners, I have bought 2 new books from WH Smiths both cost �£7.99p each and I must say they was worth every penny I spent.
Book 1) The Vegetable & Herb Expert - Book 2) The pest & Weed Expert
Both books tell you everything you need to know about How to get started, where to grow veg, types & varieties, how to look after them and about pest & diseases.
Both books have everything that I have wanted to know about.
I will still look to all you expert gardeners for advice and I enjoy this site reading tips and advice and any problems I come across you gardeners are now like a best friend.

 

look in charity shops for your books,iv had lots best one from 1953,some things av changed but not much,carol

 

hey roxy, i am a keen gardener and recently got given a greenhouse so i have cramed it full of stuff mostly veggies and some fruits cant wait to start feeding and tieing and trailing my cucs and toms,most i have started from seed! i got garlic, strawberrys, onions, lettuce, spring onion, peppers, spinach,um melon and butternut squash what are you growing? think i might have taken too much on......

 

well I won't allow myself to grow vegetables - too much waste of space that could be colourful!

I joined this book club - have to buy four books and get so many free, and it was a real struggle to pick from latest choice, so I picked from cheapest which was about growing veg in pots- so now I have house full of aubergines, sweet corn peppers........... oh everything - the power of books!

 

I`ve got close to a hundred books on gardening. I cannot resist them. Bibliophiles of the world unite. David
