   This review is from: Allotment Gardening: An Organic Guide for Beginners (Paperback)

   Wonderful book chuck full of tips – Straightforward, well organized including, information from saving seeds for future planting to what to plant and spade back into the earth to improve the soil.

   The book is written for a British audience however; with a few nods to our different word-choices, requiring some online research to find the US expression this book offers more practical and inexpensive tips than the average Gardening Bible.

   If you never broke ground to grow a seed or if you have been, gardening for years there is something for everyone. Included are a few pages of lush colorful photos, a monthly guide what to plant, when, where and how to grow a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers along with, several recipes thrown in for good measure.

   Having just read “My Life on a Hillside Allotment” by Terry Walton, this was a natural progression – both books are winners as we can expect from the land that is known for its gardens. You know it is an allotment in Britain when the recommended tools include a tin for storing tea, a Primus stove to boil water for tea and a fold-up chair for a tea break.
