I have had my first attempt at growing my own vegetables this year, with not much success so far!! I would love to win this book to get me on the right lines. I would especially love guidance on how to grow organically and what type of soil is best. In these hard times such a prize would be fantastic!
It would be great to learn new things, so I can keep out those nasty chemicals from my garden and still have lovely vegetables. This book looks lovely.
I would love to win this book, I have a very big garden, My brother has just put in some runner beans and various other veg. I know a little but not enough would relish some expert help, especially as i am going to have fruit trees put in in the Autumn and do not really know about pollenation. I love fresh fruit and veg straight from the garden.
