Some things in this seed collection:
"Grow Your Own Vegetables" by Joy Larkcom. - Do you need an instruction book?
This is the book to have if you have any questions about gardening. Even if you never get any other book, this one will sort you out for all your veg-growing questions.
It has just one or two clear paragraphs on each vegetable, explaining how, when and why you grow it in a particular way.
No-nonsense, clear instructions for all the vegetables you could want to grow, with simple explanations of why you do things a particular way rather than being a 'recipe' book.
Brilliant! We keep it to hand for quick reference all the time, even after all these years. Completely organic of course.
Paperback, 370 pages £
