Helen Yemm writes the Saturday Telegraph Thorny Problems column. Each week she writes a seasonal ramble & then answers readers garden problems. Tricky challenges that gardeners face range from how to deal with the GOOD (hedgehogs & bats) the BAD (moles & aphids) & the UGLY (slugs & black spot) to when is the best time to prune a cherry tree or advice on lawn maintenance. Helen knows her readers well & has built up a big following
- a fanbase in fact. This book is a delightful compilation of her seasonal rambles & pertinent advice. Established gardeners will appreciate her excellent tips & enjoy her very personal style of writing about looking after a garden
- whether large or small. She is not afraid to admit to her own failures; gardening Helen Yemm style is an art not a science.
