I find this no-nonsense book indispensable, and my copy commutes between the office, bedroom, greenhouse and my raised beds on a regular basis! It's brilliant because Joy has not onlygrown them in a range of conditions but researched, developed, trialled and refined the process over the years, and the book's concise style and straightforward layout enables you to find what you want quickly. Vegetable books are two-a-penny now, but none impart anything like this amount of knowledge and experience. - Garden Design Journal
