Just another tomato book. Almost all the varieties mentioned are praised for their flavour. My experience is that some are very bland. Little help is given for those in the cooler regions. No mention of grafted plants. The problems section is very superficial. being newly published, I thought there'd be new ideas. No stockists. Where can you buy these unheard of varieties, many of which are novelties and not for the serious grower.

This book manages to be both an attractive glossy with many colour photos, and to have clearly laid out, relevant information. So, nice to look at and actually useful. Covers all the essential techniques, and includes detailed sections on individual fruit, veg and herbs. (e.g. Parsnips - 2 large pages; herbs - 2 featured per page). This would suit someone like me who is newish to gardening. It answers my queries and prompts ideas. It is not aimed at anyone who wants a great deal of information on a particular species.

Ornamental Conifers Identifier (Identifiers)by: Richard Bird April 01, 1994 |
||
|
I was impressed by the concise information contained about each of the 99 types of conifer it featured. The pictures were good, as was the descriptive text which not only gave 10 year, but ultimate heights, as well as shape and hardiness. An excellent small but precise handbook for the conifer enthusiast, at a very reasonable price.

Cottage Garden (DK Living)by: Christopher Lloyd, Richard Bird April 08, 1999 |
||
|
I love Christopher LLoyd's writing, but found this book disappointing. It lacks the discursive, personal voice that makes his descriptions of plants and planting so invigorating to read, and skims over too much ground in too little detail to be useful as anything other than the most basic introduction (a page on bee keeping, a page on preserving, a few pages on vegetables ...). The range of plants described is severely limited, and the whole thing feels as if it has been written to a tight design brief developed by a non-gardening editor. Not vintage Lloyd.
