Only 45 pages of 'Month by Month'
I managed to get round to reading this over Christmas, and it was a massive disappointment. Out of the 12 or so chapters, there is actualy only one Chapter which goes over what to plant or do on a month by month basis. The rest is an overview of equipment, techniques, etc. I would suggest you save your mony and buy a Joy Larkin instead. Much better value for money.

Ok as a basic reference
I found the book very bland and after 10 minutes it was up on the shelf. For a few more quid I would recommend getting something from Alan Titmarsh with nice pictures of fruit and veg that make you want to go out and do some gardening when it is -5°C!

Written with a passion for Vegetables.
I can only echo the observations of most other readers. A great value no frills book packed with knowledge. Written by a genuine kithchen gardener. As a horticultural lecturer this is one book I would recommend to those new to vegetable gardening.

Just brill
I hadn't a clue until I got this book, but now I am a lot wiser as to what to do and when to do it. I recommend this book to any fresher like me.

Value for money
This is an excellent purchase, what would you get for under a fiver nowadays? As a novice gardener I found the chapters on planning the gardening year and getting the most from your land absolutely vital.This guide covers the basics in a very comprehensive manner indeed and although a little lacking in the visual side of things the quality of information contained more than compensates.The brief guide to vegetables is excellent and I can safely say this guide will continue to be used as a reference even after my garden is well established.Worth every penny.
