Fruitalicious!
I've been growing vegetables for a few years, but this year I became increasingly fed up with the generally flavourless fruit which I was paying huge amounts of money for in the shops. So I decided to grow my own...

This book has been brilliant. It tells you everything you need to know starting with what are the best locations, to preparing the soil and planting. It then goes through all of the fruits one by one telling you what pests they are prone to etc.

Its been a fantastic reference point and now I'm looking forward to enjoying fruit that I have produced ORGANICALLY!
