Just bought this book, by Chas Hodges, half of Chas and Dave. It combines basic grow-your-own advice with lots of humorous anecdotes, and is, judging by the brief dip into it that I've done so far, very funny. On the front cover is the warning 'Contains strong language'. I should hope so too - I'd expect no less from a Cockerney geezer like Chas. However, if norty words give you a fit of the vapours, this may not be the book for you. The gardening advice is very basic, beginners' stuff, but it's worth buying for the anecdotes.

good deal i think!!!
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

the book arrived at 10 am on saturday morning and i had read it cover to cover by 2pm.....quite a good read and as you said the advice is pretty basic (even as a newbie i kinda pickup most of the stuff from the vine over the past few months so i wouldn't buy it for the advice alone) but the stories were quite good if a little scattered on off at a tangent!!
that said it is one of the few books i have read in one sitting without being able to put it down!!!!May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.Comment
