mmmm...Rachel de Thame in my beds :o - oops, better wake up, Other half is about. ;D
I always figured her to be decorative eye fodder for the blokes in order to increase viewing figures.
Latest ladies aren't as pretty but much more hands-on.
To go back to the original post, I've got a few old books which I used a lot when I first got my lottie.
AGL Hellyer: Your garden week by week. Collingridge 1947
Percy Thrower: In your garden Hamlyn, 1976 (originally 1959)
I think I've also got the Veg and Herbs Thrower too. But these last two are both what to do when books, and if you ignore the old methods of pest control (now totally outlawed by the EU) they are very good indeed.
Together with a few RHS veg books (for latest varieties and growing methods) and the HDRA organic book, I muddle along :)
