I'll keep an eye out for you too Bizzie Are you still looking for allotment flower growing tips too? As think I have some info in my mags so I'll have a sort out for you x
I love books and magazines as I like to sit and stare into the pictures and dream how I can make my garden like theirs or pinch ideas
I have a kindle Fire, also a, lot of books. I have more gardening books than the local library. I prefer the feel of a real book especially for reference, but I have downloaded lots of books for my holiday, also a guide to the fishes of the east Indies. I just don't have the weight allowance for real books for holidays. Trouble is you darent leave a kindle on a sunbed while you fetch a drink. I think they're good for fiction, but no good for passing it on when you've read it.
'Scuse my ignorance Frank, but what is the difference between the internet and the web? I cant really remember how much info was on the net in the 80's didnt have a computer then!
I think the expert book on veg growing is very informative, my dad used it and now me, how can things have changed so much for growing a cabbage or putting stuff on the compost heap, or liming your ground.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Not sure if that link will work as it's from my instagram account? But I like to spend lots of time in bookshops. This was my favourite place to hide after a hard shift at work. It's now closed down and relocated to a modern waterstones type affair... It used to be in an old windy rickety old building hidden away. They're making more money for the charity now which is great, but I can't help but miss how quiet it used to be!
Lyn I was going to be flippant and say 'No but what's it about', but I just read a brief synopsis and it sounds fascinating. Either one to look out for - or download
The RHS Plant Pruning Guide - it tells you how to prune everything in a simple way.
Carol Kleins Grow Your Own Garden - really good for learing how to propagate plants
I too have most of the expert books.
One other if you are a cottage garden fan. It's called Create a Cottage Garden and is by Kathleen Brown. Its an old book (I got an ex library copy off Amazon). It is full of recipes for different places in the garden and the illustrations are simply beautiful. I never get bored of dipping into it.

Talking of old bookshops, has anyone read 84 Charring Cross Road by Helene Hanff?
