BOOK OF THE SEASON

“Can Anything Stop Slugs?” Sadly, probably not, but this book offers a wealth of other expert hints and tips that will soon make it indispensable to any gardener.

Charmingly illustrated, the book has been inspired by the hundreds of gardeners’ queries that the RHS answers each year, like: “What’s making holes in my potatoes?”, “How can I grow super-sized vegetables?”, “Why won’t flowers grow on the right side?” and “Why don’t my roses smell?” Can Anything Stop Slugs? By Guy Barter, RHS Chief Horticulturist Mitchell Beazley/rhs, £14.99
