Book advice please x
« on: September 24, 2011, 08:20:28 am »
Hi all, another quick question - can anyone recommend a good book for my mother-in-law for Christmas, we are wanting one all about growing vegetables and fruit in your garden and what you should be doing when etc, when looking around we've found a lot of them are more for large scale growing or for too weird and wonderful produce, she just wants something nice, basic and easy!

Any recommendations as always gratefully received  ;D

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

I really like the litttle River Cottage handbook, it's small enough to carry around and it's very amusing, haas a few recipes too.
