Customer Reviews

Gardening amazement
Having read and enjoyed 'The lost Gardens of Heligan' I was very interested to read the 'Vegetable Bible' especially since I have recently dug up my lawn in order to create a tiny but hopefully productive garden.
The book is packed with practical advice, all be it on a massive scale, but its the very scale of Heligan that enables me to take insperation from it. I recently planted a melon under a cloche in my 2 metre square fruit plot having read of Heligans melon gardens. Guess what - I have flowers and the beginnings of fruit!! WOW!
Beautifully presented with gorgeous photographs, a useful and valuable book, that is packed with information and insperation.
