See? Sooo many questions that I don't expect to all be answered here,
so if someone could suggest a GOOD book,

Looked up and down the shelves to see what I've got (and I've got a
few) but of all of them one stood out for you, Cassel's Encyclopedia
of gardening by Anita Pereire. It is really entirely comprehensible to
the beginner. It covers everything, from gardening techniques to trees
and shrubs, flowers (2,000 of them), fruits ... from making ponds to
grafting, from garden camouflage (yep) to dividing dahlia. Huge big
pages, great pictures, comprehensible english (and beleive me there)
20 quids, (mine was a present). Maybe put it on your xmas list. HTH
