Any good books you good folk on here could recommend for a novice

the best time to sow seeds etc.

You don't need a specifically organic book, but if you can find
Lawrence D. Hills' book on organic fruit and veg growing somewhere
you won't regret it, as it has a lot of specialist info the keen
organic (or any) gardener will find particularly useful.

More recent titles are at:

For sowing times etc, the seed catalogues are reliable and free; and
the instructions on seed packets are by the same people who write the
books.
