Visually stunning, one almost feels like they are in the garden with the wonderful photography.
This is possibly one the the simplest, practical and agréable gardening books I have ever looked at. The background story and recipes make it as warm and welcoming as Italian hospitality.

A fantastic beginners guide to growing your own fruit and veg. Beautifully presented with lots of attractive images. Loaded with useful info about specific crops, pests, tools and tricks. Even a a few recipes. Loved it. Definitely one I'll be referring back to again and again.

Really informative book for those starting out in the garden. Although will probably need a picture of all the different kinds of pests and moulds that can occur

Its great at what it is trying to do. There is so much bore in the horticulture world and Fabian dodges all that and makes a great easy to follow guide for people who just want to do a bit at home. This book will never be far from my garden shed or kitchen. Shouts to the Mrs for getting me this as a gift. Top present.
