Not sure if this should be here, or chatting on the plot but...

It is my SIL birthday soon and she is also making small steps into the grow at home veggie thing. So, I was thinking we could get her something to encourage/help her along.

So, my question is, what would you say was the most useful/helpful/desirable bit of equipment, books, item that you have and why?

I hope someone may throw up the ideal gift with this brainstoring thread.

Over to you my fellow forum members

As soon as i saw your question the first thing that came into my head was Dr Hessayon veg & herb expert book so i definetley agree with Rampant-Weasel!

How much have you got to spend?
As a couple of raised beds & John's book would be ideal!!

[peapod]

a selection of easy to grow seeds, e.g peas,lettuce, herbs, radish with a couple of nice containers and johns book
Thats would have got me started!
