I am a 25 yr. old gardener. This is my 2nd year in a community garden and
I love it. This book is absolutely perfect!!! I wish I would have had it
last year. My garden is 10 times more productive and fun! The book gives clear descriptions of how to plant, harvest, store and enjoy a large variety of vegetables. The recipe ideas are great too! It makes gardening fun and easy!

This book is such a great gift to society. I recommend it to all of my friends!

I loved this book and refer to it over and over. I'm fairly new at gardening and this book has very easy to understand instructions and suggestions that are priceless. Everything she says in this book has come true and has helped me to not only love gardening but enjoy the satisfaction of growing my own food and eating it too! Some of her recipes are traditional and some are unique. My husband who is a farmer and knows all about raising crops, freezing, canning, etc loves the book as well! He's not a reader and he recommends the book to anyone. I, on the other hand am a city girl and knew nothing until I met my husband. Both ends of the spectrum and this book gets a 2 thumbs up! I can't wait to purchase her guide book for fruits and start planting fruits next year!

Finally--a gardening book aranged the way home gardeners think! Includes every step from soil to sprouting to tending and harevsting (and recipe ideas too!) for various types of veggies. All the author needs to do is add a chapter on saving harvested seeds, and it'll become the absolute home gardener's "Bible."

Great book for gardeners first time or experienced. I found this book at the library and after checking it out three times, decided to buy it for myself. Highly recommend.

This is one of the best gardening books I have read. I read it cover to cover in a few days, almost like a good fiction book. It has great practical guidance in gardening for such a variety of fruits and vegetables. I cannot recommend this enough for the beginner gardener!

Checked this book out at the library. It is very well organized. For each vegetable presented there are hints on how to grow, what type of soil, when to plant, harvesting, ways to preserve, etc., and recipes. The tone of the book is very well written as well. I will definitely be purchasing this book to place on my shelves...it is a keeper.

Purchased this as a gift for a Daughter who wishes to grow some of her own produce. Other reviews were a factor in ordering this particular book. Only time and her gardening efforts will prove the value of the book.
