CHAS Hodges, of Chas & Dave fame, shares his gardening knowledge in this new book aimed at the novice gardener, which is full of funny stories and anecdotes interspersed with the author’s tips for growing your own.

Chas’s pearls of wisdom are drawn from personal experience of getting his hands dirty, rather than text book gardening techniques, and his light-hearted approach makes the book an easy read.

So if the idea of Sunday roast accompanied by your own home grown vegetables appeals to you, this book tells you how. And if all that digging proves to be just too much, you can always settle down with a pint of beer and enjoy the tongue-in-cheek humour of a born raconteur.
