More About the Author

I have the greatest job in the world, which is helping gardeners find neat ways to make the world a more beautiful and productive place. Writing feature article for Mother Earth News and other magazines helps to break up long stretches spent on books, and it's also great fun to talk with fellow gardeners, who are a constant source of new and better ideas.

While the book has a lot of helpful information, a lot of the basics are left to the imagination. Not a beginners book but very informative!

This book was recommended to me by our local gardening store. They said it is out of print but the best available on growing your own vegetables.
They are correct. Well laid out information. Everything I have needed. I especially like the very complete info done plant by plant, pics included.
