can anyone suggest some good general books for
idiot beginners like myself and Getty?

i've seen this:

  Practical Allotment Gardening: A Guide to Growing  
  Fruit,  Vegetables and Herbs on Your Plot  
  Caroline Foley

on amazon. it has a couple of very mixed reviews...

cheers...

seth.

Try 'Pippa's Organic Kitchen Garden' by Pippa Greenwood published by Dorling Kindersley. Good format, good reference book, lots of interesting tips.

cheers.

I got the foley book, btw. it's a nice lightweight sort of thing. not a lot of detail - certainly not useful as a reference, or full guide to allotmentkeeping.  but it's pleasant reading and got me and my co-allotmenteers excited...
