I found the information in the book clearly presented and in a good format. I found the book interesting reading and informative. However, it was written in Britian and some information as far as varieties, dates and insects may not apply to United States. I'm not sure, which creates doubt about the accuracy for us.

I'm not an expert gardener, so I found this book to be a great quick reference to problems that my vegetable plants were having.

these "Expert" books are easy to understand and easy to follow. I have most of the set! I love them! started collecting them years ago.

Agree with earlier reviewer re: book written for Brits, not US audience, but that doesn't make it a show stopper. If you're new to vegetable gardening the book's still worth a look.....there's lots of good general information that's well organized, easy to reference and to the point. For anyone wanting to get a good overview of things, this is a good place to start.

Unfortunately, the Herb section doesn't start until the very end of the book and is very thin on content. The author should stick to vegetables and retitle the book or do the necessary diligence to the herb section (and present in similar format)and republish. No way I'd say he's an herb expert with what he's presented.

What a great book, would recommend purchasing this book to anyone who loves to garden.

Lots of information, but none of the information I wanted. This book is a good reference for Great Britian but for the US it is kind of obsolete.
