Since posting, I have. The HDRA Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening looks
good, although I'd like a look at it first. But it does seem to have half of
the book dedicated to vegetables specifically - which I like. And they are
of course an excellent organisation. I've also seen Grown Your Own
Vegetables by Joy Larkrom which looks good, although smaller.



Can anybody comment on these?

Hi

I am an occasional poster to this group with 2 x 1/2 allotments near to
our
house, (almost) all organic. No axe to grind here, it just seems to work
and
I enjoy it. My mother is also keen on growing organic vegetables which
she
has been doing for years, and wants a good book for Christmas. I have
Matthew Biggs Complete Book of Vegetables which is excellent but wondered
whether other urgers have any recommendations? I don't want a book just
on
organic gardening (eg Flowerdew) but something that specifically relates
to
vegetables and is not just for beginners.

Any ideas welcome.....
