    You can't go wrong with "The Vegetable and Herb Expert" by Dr. D. Hessayon.
    It's perfect for the newbie garden.
    Well laid out and explained clearly with diagrams for everything. You'll find it in any good bookstore.....

    "The Organic Garden Book" by Geoff Hamilton is excellent, even if you're not into organic gardening as such.
