5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for the beginner,
By JRGC "JRGC" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grow Vegetables: Gardens - Yards - Balconies - Roof Terraces (Paperback)
This book is wonderful!!! This is my second year growing veggies and my first year with this book. I learned so much from this easy to read guide. The begining general section taught me about crop rotation and sunlight and watering schedules. The sections devoted to each type of vegetable are very informative and go into just enough detail to be really helpful bot no so much that it was over my head.
This is a great book for begining veggie gardeners!!!

The best book of its kind,

This review is from: Grow Vegetables: Gardens - Yards - Balconies - Roof Terraces (Paperback)
An excellent book, well-written, and beautifully designed and illustrated. It makes the daunting tasks of creating and managing a vegetable garden seem simple. I could see my thumbs getting greener as I read it.
The book manages to be comprehensive, yet concise, covering all of the important topics, without deluging the reader with excessive details, or complicated Latin names. It gives the beginner everything that they need to know to grow all of the common vegetables, but it will also interest the more experienced reader since it contains many unusual and challenging varieties too. This book stands head and shoulders above its neighbors on the bookstore shelves. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful book!,
By Creative Soul "kksings" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grow Vegetables: Gardens - Yards - Balconies - Roof Terraces (Paperback)
Wow! What a great book! Large pictures on every page. Broken down in easy-to-find sections for each type of vegetable with brief, informative information (no latin names or scientific babble). This is for the beginner to expert with just the basics you need to grow veggies.
My main questions (that this book answered beautifully) was when a veggie is ready to harvest (describes perfectly) and also best planting/growing conditions for each plant. It also describes how to combat problems that can arise. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone who is interested in growing vegetables in a small/large garden or small balcony or simply in pots. This book will be a reference book for me for years and years to come.
