I like Joy Larkcom and Carol Klein, and personally would rate them both much more highly than Alan T, but one of my favourite veg-growing books of all time is Christopher Lloyd's 'Gardener, Cook.'
He was a legend. I can't think of any better garden writer.
Here is the details of the DVD. It has not arrived yet, so a bit cross, the other dvd I ordered for my son came 4 days ago. So fingers crossed it will arrive very soon.
It is £8.49 so lets hope it is worth it and a bargain!
My little boy wants to take his portable dvd to the lottie and see how they do thinks on the dvd and copy them. If it encourages him I am all for it.

Review:
This provides an opportunity to look at the cultivation of vegetables on a scale to suit all gardeners. Using our own experimental garden and several others such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan where the production of vegetables is carried out to the highest possible standards, we will be able to cover all aspects in great detail. Featuring choice of site and aspect. Building soil fertility and crop rotation. Pests and diseases. Organic cultivation.
WH Smiths have the Carol Klein Grow your own veg for £5 at the moment.
One other book I refer to a lot is the RHS "Gardening week by week" book, which goes through the whole year listing the jobs you should be doing, and is a great reminder of what you need to do in the coming months if you read ahead!!!
