Very useful book bursting with easy to follow information on growing a variety of vegetables. At a time when people are becoming much more health aware, and when plant based eating is hugely popular, there will be a big market for this book. It is also from a trusted source so it will appeal. All the basics are included complete with excellent illustrations, but this is also extended into more unusual vegetables, additional projects and a bit of foraging. A good reliable, easy to follow book for anyone wanting to have a go at growing their own.

This book is jam-packed with information and I can't wait to apply this new knowledge to my own gardening adventures.

This is a book that every Gardener should have! This book is packed with valuable information. The book starts by giving an introduction to growing vegetables and then goes on to teach you how to make raised beds, wildlife friendly gardens, rooting, seed saving and more. I highly recommend this book. This book would make a wonderful gift.

This is a delightful British book that teaches you how to grow common and uncommon vegetables of all kinds. There are so many veggies covered here that I grow in my garden or want to grow and never find in American garden books -- artichokes, parsnips, tomatillas, pak choi, soybeans and on and on. Lots of the ones covered are also wild vegetables that you can forage like miner's lettuce, watercress, sorrel, jerusalem artichokes, seakale and American groundnut. Many southern staples are included here that are often left out of American gardening books too, such as peanuts and okra.

Lovely botanical illustrations are included of the plants along with garden info, hardiness ranges (keep in mind it's designed for British readers but it can be easily converted), and so on. There are also lots of projects such as forcing rhubarb, saving seeds and building a root clamp.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.
