Comprehensive, A-Z directories of vegetables and fruits guide readers through the most popular varieties, their soil and site needs, and the best times and methods for sowing, planting and harvesting.
With reliable, practical information and an easy-to-use format, this is the perfect companion for every current or prospective allotment owner.
