Get it right, and it can provide boundless pleasure; get it wrong, and it is a source of infinite frustration.

They include: how to protect your container plants from winter frost; how to ensure your spring bulbs flower; how to grow summer vegetables in a tiny courtyard, and how to find trees or shrubs that provide stunning autumn colour.There's also a plethora of information for any time of year, such as how to attract birds into your garden, obtain the perfect lawn, and clean and maintain your pond. Best of all, the number one question from gardeners - 'how can I get rid of slugs and snails?' - is authoritatively answered.So join the team in the potting shed, and look forward to a whole year of trouble-free gardening!
