I have the 2002 edition, but it still only offers imperial measurements. While this may be an irritation for some, I do find inches and feet so much more appropriate for practical matters like gardening!
An excellent book with a great deal of practical advice on planting, mulching, pruning, picking, disease control, etc. I would prefer just a little more detail on these matters, however, and perhaps a slightly less comprehensive list of varieties - many of which are not availabe even from specialist nurseries. But why change much - how much can gardening change? I have just ordered the Rose Expert. >>More Details |

I have really enjoyed reading and dipping into this thoughtful book. It's an inspiring variety of beautiful container projects that instantly make you want to start grubbing about and planting great things to eat. Plus, did I mention? They look FABulous....
The instructions are clear, succinct and helpful. You don't have to have the exact container that the author uses - you could pick something out of a skip and have the project work just as well. A section at the back has really useful details such as which vegetables need which type of soil, what their peculiarities are, what shade or sun they like and how much moisture they prefer. A section at the front has no-nonsense information on compost, containers and what-you'll ... Read More: >>More Details |

How to Grow Your Own Food: A Week-by-week Guide to Wild Life Friendly Fruit and Vegetable Gardeningby: "Dirty Nails" June 25, 2007 Search: fruit |

This delightful book is a practical guide to enjoying the growing as much as the eating of your own food. It clearly presents a week by week guide to sowing, planting, nurturing and harvesting your own crops, plus some veggie recipes to further enjoy the fruits of your labour. Along side this are notes to engender closer observation of the wildlife encountered while in the garden or allotment and historical background to the food grown. It would be a stimulating book to encourage a beginner but being informative on many levels it is a really rewarding read for all who are willing to get their nails dirty.

Recently Natsuki Takaya has dealt with the relationships of some of the supporting characters... and now it's back to the main trio.
And the nineteenth volume of "Fruits Basket" focuses on Tohru's growing feelings for Kyo, even as she struggles to free him from his curse -- and the scorn of the other zodiac members. Though there are some funny moments (mostly from the wonderfully wacky Ayame) growing romantic feelings and past regrets are littered all through these chapters. Heartfelt talks take up a lot of space -- when Shigure tells Tohru about the approaching "last banquet" and the cat's place, she is left struggling with her torn feelings. Kyo has a chat with her kindly grandfather about Tohru, and remembers his own talk ... Read More: >>More Details |

I have found this to be an invaluable book which I have used together with the Fruit Expert by Dr Hessayon. The latter is in full colour and is probably a superior guide to choosing your fruit trees and bushes with descriptions, colour pictures and ratings of lots of varieties. The RHS book is aimed at the planting, pruning and care of your fruits once chosen (although it does have short descriptions of the more popular varieties but no pictures of them). This book is in black and white and one other colour but this doesn't really detract from the numerous beatiful drawings. It has comprehensive detail with illustrations on planting and long term care of your fruit trees/ bushes. In particular it has illustrations of pruning for each fruit and each year ... Read More:

Forgotten Fruits: A Guide to Britain's Traditional Fruit and Vegetables, from Orange Jelly Turnips to Dan's Mistake Gooseberriesby: Christopher Stocks May 01, 2008 Search: fruit |

Christopher Stock's book is such a nice, anti-market forces type of book. Stocks has gone all over Britain to research the stories of heritage fruit and veg varieties - the kind that taste really good but maybe don't look quite as uniform, neat and tidy. There's the right amount of history - from the French spy Frézier to Charlotte Knight, cherry breeder - and he's not pretending to have solved every puzzle - the Bascombe Mystery remains just that.
Each variety is treated in a section that's just the right length - about a page or so. The first section alone, Apples, made me want to go to an Apple day and actually try some of the fragrant fruit he enthuses about - the Cornish Gilliflower, the Crawley Beauty. There's lots of practical info ... Read More: >>More Details |

How one idea, three guys, a shed load of fruit and endless energy created on of the most innovative, and healthiest companies in the UK. Innocent was founded in 1998 by three Oxford grads, in 2007 it was the fastest growing food and drink business in the UK. Smoothies, are basically combinations of fresh fruit and fruit juice- an instant hit of vitamins to the system. Before innocent they were virtually unknown outside the kitchens of the health conscious- freshly squeezed organe juice was about as good as it got. Across the Atlantic however smoothies have been a hit for middle class office workers for years. The boys from innocent took, gave it a cheeky marketing spin and took the UK by force. Simmons looks in detail at how a seriously focused, commercially driven ... Read More:
