Media Reviews
This illustrated book deals with all aspects of salad gardening and offers details on 200 salad plants while emphasising organic methods of gardening. The book is a must. It is beautiful to look at and the photographs enable me at last to identify the many different leafy salad plants I can grow. Southern Star
