Vegetable Growing Month by Month Seconds – LIMITED STOCK

The damage on these seconds quality books is very superficial. Some turned corners, some box imprint lines on the front of covers, or perhaps a slight cover discolouration. These are some examples, from across our titles, showing the potential defects.

New vegetable growers were looking for a simple, straightforward guide, written in plain English, that told them what to do, when to do it and how to do it. This is what I have tried to provide here.

Even if you are not lucky enough to have a large garden or an allotment, you can still grow some vegetables on a patio or even on a balcony. There’s a comprehensive section on growing in containers and pots.
