I bought this book and was really happy that I had. It isn't full of glossy photos but it has lots of information and really tells you what you need to know to get growing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants no nonsense information.

Although this book has a lot of 5 star reviews I feel that it is slightly lacking for the modern gardener. This book did not tell me everything I wanted to know such as what to do with crops at the end of the season, and has no photographs, only sketches. Whilst a good book, I feel there are better available!

I was given this book as a gift and thoroughly enjoyed it. I concur with other reviewers so won't waffle on about how good it is. Why only 4 stars? There's nothing on the importance of companion planting when using organic methods and without this, my veg patch wouldn't survive. This info can be researched elsewhere, so other than that, I would recommend this book, especially for a beginner. I'm just about to buy another copy for my best friend who is just that!

This book is a great basic guide on how to prepare a vegetable bed and advice on how to plant various veg. Cant wait to start planting up my new veg plot next year! :)

a good book for the beginner, but certan parts are badly set out. beautiful pictures, but in my opinion, not enough information to go with them. could have been better in my opinion. but a decent book none the less for the complete novice, even though i feel that the amoun of plants recommended to grow for each veriety if a bit squiffy.

It is not often that you find a gardening book which in 15 minutes allows you to do exactly what it says on the title, but this book and the enitre Green Essentials series have provided me with the kind of straightforward information I need to get out into the garden.
It includes everything from the basic tools you need to get started to a table which tells you what to sow and when.
I highly recommend this book. I am now enjoying fresh vegetables from the garden which sure beats the vacum packed kind that you get in the supermarket.
