Customer Reviews

The ultimate organic guide to growing vegetables.
It is not often that you find a gardening book which in 15 minutes allows you to do exactly what it says on the title, but this book and the enitre Green Essentials series have provided me with the kind of straightforward information I need to get out into the garden.

It includes everything from the basic tools you need to get started to a table which tells you what to sow and when.

I highly recommend this book. I am now enjoying fresh vegetables from the garden which sure beats the vacum packed kind that you get in the supermarket.
