Co C x, is a back-to-basics look at everything, from tackling weeds to raising tasty vegetables. Useful for anywhere in the UK, but aimed particularly at Scotland, northern half of England and inland or hill gardens, where the climate can be particularly fickle.
Ken says: “Three million people hav h e tak ken up gardening in the last year but when I looked at the books available to them I couldn’t find anything that was aimed at beginners, so I decided to write one myself.”
“This book is essential reading for garden centre staff who want to be able to answer all the questions new gardeners are asking.”
