John Harrison's - Vegetable Growing Month By Month

[AdamF]

John Harrioson is an awesome guy! He really knows his stuff when it comes to gardening and he is a really down to earth guy. I don't like a lot of typical gardening writers but John seems to have a great writing style from articles of his I have seen in the past.

I haven't read his book yet but I highly recommend it already. I know it's going to rock! You can check it out on amazon here...

Vegetable Growing Month-by-Month: The down-to-earth guide that takes you through the vegetable year: Amazon.co.uk: John Harrison: Books

I'm not 100% sure when the book is released but I pre-ordered my book a while ago and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival.

Here is a quote from what Amazon had to say about the book...

I have this book and I have to say it's excellent. His little tips are excellent and not like the generic stuff you normally get in books of this type.
