Hi All

Nights drawing in, now is the time for me to catch up on my gardening reading.

What are your favourite gardening/horticultral books?  I'm open to ALL suggestions

Hi MACAVITYTHECAT

Just looked it up on Amazon and added it to my wish list. Thanks once again

Mark, I like  The Idiot Gardener's Handbook by Daphhne Ledward, had it years but still refer to it.

Also love the pictures in   The Sensuous Garden by Monty Don.

For a smile / laugh it's   A Little Light Weeding by Richard Briers.

Might try the Richard Briers book Kef, sounds good. Its not reading I know, but I just bought the Victorian Kitchen Garden series (BBC) for my long winter night gardening fest!

Thanks KEF and ginagibbs, I'll check them out. I'm reading at the moment;

Minding My Peas and Cucumbers: Quirky Tales of Allotment Life by Kay Sexton and just finished The Allotment Diaries: A Year of Potting, Plotting and Feasting by Kay Sexton.

I dont have an allotment and I have enjoyed and enjoying reading them

One of my customers gave me huge pile of old gardening mags yesterday - some dating back to 2006, it's going to take me all winter to plough through them

I'll be catching up on all the G'sWorld mags - (that's mags mark! ) that I've not had time to read properly over the summer. Like to dip in and out of Christopher Lloyd's book 'Colour for Adventurous Gardeners'.
