Which book?

[Scottishnewbie]

Hi folks, one of my neighbours is just about to retire and she's commented to me a few times that she'd like to start growing her own veg.

I thought for her retirement gift, I'd buy her a book to help her get started.

Can anyone recommend a suitable one please? (that isn't too expensive of course!)

Thanks

SN

the hessayan one.. i'm sure someone on here will know the full name of it, it escapes me for the moment

The Hessayan one's a bit 'old fashioned'? Surely as a pressie Carole Klein or Alan Titchmarsh's veggie growing guide might be better? Good content, nice pictures.

Hi, Jekka's herb book is fabulous, and herbs are a pretty easy and usefull place to start GYO. WH Smith has always got lots of good gardening books on offer if you've got one near.
