As a huge fan of 'The Gourmet Gardener' by Bob Flowerdew, I ordered this book and it too would have received 5 stars from me because it also contains a wealth of useful information (e.g. advantages and disadvantages of different varieties, companion planting).
However, the more I read it in detail, the more frustrating it became. For example, the section on garlic listed just three varieties - Oz Garlic Rosea, Oz Garlic White and Aussie White - instead of referring to the four colour types of white, rose, violet and red and their differing characteristics. Similarly, the sections on both potatoes and apples referred to common varieties in Australia - which is not much use to me in Northern Europe! All became clear to me when ...

Gardeners' Question Time - Plant Chooser (Gardeners Question Time) (Gardeners Question Time)by: John Cushnie, Matthew Biggs, Bob Flowerdew February 07, 2008 |

As a British Expat living in New Zealand I picked up this book at the library with not great expectations. Well what an amazing suprise, it dealt with a great variety of plants from perennials, shrubs, trees, fruit etc. etc. Bob Flowerdew recommends 'vines' a wee bit too much but I can forgive him. I spent many an evening devouring this lovely book with fantastic descriptions of just why a specific plant is so great, for most of their descriptions where I shared a plant they had chosen the writers were spot on. I now have a long list of new plants that I will try and source here in Christchurch, NZ. Thank you, thank you, thank you I will now go and buy a copy for not only me but my mother and mother-in-law. THIS IS A SPECIAL BOOK CANNOT RECOMMEND ... Read More:

As an novice allotment owner, the book is very informative, and contains listings and notes on most of the varieties of each type of vegetable. The varieties are readily found in seed packets at any garden centre, and give advice as to which is best for certain conditions and yields, etc. The recipes are very good. The Irish colcannon is so simple. A great book even if you only want to grow a few things in your garden. >>More Details |

Radio 4's Gardeners Question Time seems to have been running since the very beginning of time, and over the years its experts have answered many thousands of questions.

So now you can become your very own gardening guru - read this book, and you too will be expert enough to appear on the the nation's favourite gardening radio show ! If your aspirations are more modest, you'd simply like to be a bit more knowledgable about gardening, or if you just want to pass an entertaining hour or two doing some armchair gardening ...
