Topic: The Allotment Handbook ...£5.00 off

[baggieboy]

Hi there, just to let you all now i went to WHSmiths today and bought Caroline Foleys Allotment handbook. Hard back price was £12.99 but if you buy a book for over a tenner you can get a voucher and get £5 off.

This apllies to any book over £10 so the book only cost me £7.99 excellent value i thought.

Thought i'd share it with you lot.

i was given her handbooks for a leaving present - thoughtfully as i had been allotmenteering for two years and HAD the books i required  ::) (what i REALLY wanted was cake)

anyways, if anyone is in need of 'the a-z of allotment vegetables' (majors on the veg varieties but also describes all other things described in the 'allotment handbook', i.e. preparation, rotation, diseases etc etc) - both books are very similar - a LOT of cut and paste going on there!

i can also be persuaded to part with 'the allotment handbook' itself - it does have a slightly larger section on fruit but nothing i didnt know before.

some kind of donation /seed swap/craft swap would be very welcome, if anyone is interested.

 ;)..Seeds that I would beprepared to swap are as follows:
Cayenne Pepper..mr fothergills
Aubergine [black beauty] mr fothergills
Marigold....[little marvel] Van Meuwen
Wallflower [my fair lady] Van Meuwen
Sunflower [evening sun shades] Van Meuwen
Viola [black beauty] Van Meuwen

Also would consider  swapping my  Raspberry,blackberry,strawberry and blueberry  Organic seed selection for vegetable seeds..[open to suggestions]
4 x seeds

  posting of said book............is it already sold  ??? 2 months down the line from
  your initial post...........I know ladies keep guys waiting......... :o :o....... or could
