    I've got Monty Don't book (was on sale last year) and one of the RHS guides (stupendous bargain at £4.99 last year).

    As a second year gardener, what I found most helpful were books that not only tell you what to do but pictures!!! Lots of these fashionable gardeners on TV have lots of arty shots but don't actually show a proper picture of where you should be cutting to prune something, etc etc.

    And another one for the vine :) It's a great knowledge resource

    Pictures are what i need i think as sometimes being told what to do is not as good as seeing what to do :) x
