Johnplotman's Journal

Wow John, any chance of you opening a Library. That's some amount of great books!

Love the books . what an amount of them and I was thinking I had a lot last count I had 22 books I leave my maazines in to the cancer shop as I have not got a bok room like yours no wonder you have so much info and thanks for that.

You could open a lending scheme there, John. Great collection.

Wow, I bet you're never stuck for a reference source. You must have the complete Dr Hessayon collection there.

I thought my house was full of books - I have three kids and a husband who refuses to give any away so every room has a bookcase (or two) lol - I only have a handful of gardening books tho so I am envious!-)

Book collecting,mainly of veg gardening have been another favourite of mine a good many years.Jacints,Clara,and Fran.[thanks].

Great collection John, could spend many a wet evening browsing through that room!!!

An odd time Rachel,[thanks].Yes i have the most of them,but Dr Hessayons book,The Vegetable And Herb Expert is the best loved of them.Especially the pocket veg expert by him.Carry it everywhere.

Sharon,with a book case or two in everyroom,you are well into reading also.[thanks].A handful of garden books is as good as a thousand of them.

Thanks Dave,on the wet evenings its straight to there most of the time.

I have just read through your journal. I am interested in starting to grow vegetables and have been composting since I started the garden so I found your entries very interesting.. Thank you!

Hello Thomasina,

Now that your interested also in growing veg its a major boost first off to read in your journal comment that you have your own compost.Along with that,some important tips given to me when i started 1 Grow what you like to eat, 2 Have a small note book and take the time of sowing and harvesting. 3. Always plant the vegetables together that suit each other.When you do start off i will help you as much as possible.[your welcome]
