Grow Your Own Veg by Carole Klein

[lozza_9]

Hiya All

Hope you all had a good Christmas.

Got a quick question about allotment books.

I asked for The Allotment book by Andi Clevely for Christmas( which I didnt get ) BUT while looking in a bookshop I noticed Carole Klein has also got a book out, I think it connected to her new TV show in the new year.

Did anyone get the book for Xmas? would you recommend it? Had a quick look and it seems she gives loads of advice (in detail) on growing Veg.

or is the allotment book better?

Thanks
Lorraine

also asked for a year subscription for GYO which I didnt get hubby noticed I was not a happy bunny so he quickly got me a subscribtion on Christmas day

sorry loraine i cant help either, i asked santa for the andy clevley book too but didnt get it, still got a birthday pressie to pick up tho so there is still time.
it was quite a good price on amazon when i checked.

[lozza_9]

Yep just looked at amazon and its not a bad price.

I actually thought I would end up with loads of gardening stuff from the family as this is my first year with my allotment but nope, got a few seeds from my mum and a pencil ( made out of wood)which is also a whistle - hubby bought it so I could make notes in my note book I have, which I thought was a good idea.

Oh well

[yoanbob]

dont worry loz, at least its not the other way, last year i ended up with seven trowells.

Have bought Carols book.I read through it yesterday.Its got quite a few bits I will refer to through out the year.Very good for beginners,ok for old hands.All royalties from the book will go to charity,bought with my xmas money,so feel I've done bit of good buying book!

[Muddy Sarah]

I'm really keen to get Carol's book too, as I'm really enjoying the series. Her sheer enjoyment of veg growing is very very infectious!

I couldn't be without my Andi Clevelly - I must have read it cover to cover at least half a dozen times now.
