Welcome to the Book Club

Sometimes it's good to put your feet up and have a damn good read. If it's a volume about any aspect of fruit or vegetable growing, produce cookery or applicable horticultural techniques, then we want to hear about it!

The Discussion Forum is a great way to gather information on a particular topic in one place, otherwise the Comments section is good for short, easy topics and for you to introduce yourselves.

If you're new to the Group, then welcome :) Do have a good look at what we've been up to and dive right in! If you're just having a nose around, we hope you like what you see and sign up immediately...

Comment by Jan Willetts on August 4, 2011 at 11:51: Just got my copy of River Cottage's latest book on fruit by mark Diacono. Really good down to earth advice, with recommendations on choosing plants, best way to grow them and recipes as well. I like the way its written, the odd quirky comment but generally just a really good working book that demystifies the whole topic and encourages people to have a go.

Comment by Donna C on August 15, 2011 at 11:26: I got River Cottage Veg Patch for a present last Friday, just starting into it.

Comment by Jan Willetts on August 15, 2011 at 13:10: Amazon have got Charles Dowding's book on how to grow Winter Vegetables.

Comment by VP on August 22, 2011 at 11:09: I've just reviewed Minding My Peas and Cucumbers by Kay Sexton over at my blog.

A good and amusing light read with some useful hints and tips to boot.

Comment by VP on September 9, 2011 at 21:18: Latest book review is in the blog section:

Lots of scrummy recipes - not just for apples!

Comment by Maggie McLean on October 12, 2012 at 22:00: Wasn't sure where to post this but I saw on the Book People website, they are selling the whole set of River Cottage books (in paperback) for £25.00. Would love to buy it myself but already have the bread and veg patch, both well worth the money.

Comment by VP on October 13, 2012 at 14:15: Thanks for flagging that up Maggie- I saw that too, but already have the Fruit, Veg and Preserve books. I agree they're an excellent set.

Comment by Trevor Alun Davies on February 6, 2013 at 21:40: Love books. Currently I'm working my way through a pile of 'Amateur Gardening' from the 1980's that a work colleague gave me - very interesting.
