Grow Your Own Vegetables, Joy Larkcom, Francis Lincoln, ISBN 0 7112 1963 X, about a tenner. I don't think any others are needed (but don't let that stop you, it hasn't stopped me!). The Organic Salad Garden, also by Joy Larkcom and published by Francis Lincoln, is also good and is very well illustrated with real photographs, but the edition I have is a hardback and was a little expensive (particularly compared with her GYOVs) at about 17 quid. As a relative beginner myself I have found these books very helpful but something else that you can do, which I keep telling myself I should do more often, is visit gardens where they do it properly to get some inspiration. We visited the Kitchen Garden at Tatton Park today. Although there was naturally a lot of bare ground, partly because of the time of year and partly because they are still getting it back into production, it was still an inspiration to see how the stuff that I try to grow is supposed to look. -- Stuart Baldwin news\at/boxatrix\dot/co\dot/uk |
