My husband and I planted our first veggie garden in the summer of 2005. We had such a great time and felt ready to step up to the next level! I read about this book in our local paper and purchased it based upon that article. We are soooo glad we did!

This book explains gardening in simple, step by step instructions! Since purchasing it we have started our first plants from seeds and are ready to begin planting our first fall garden. With this book we feel confident that we can have veggies all year round.

If you live in the same climate zone as NY, this book will be especially helpful. Other climate zones just have to adjust the planting schedule that the author writes up in the book.

I recommend this book to anyone ready to go from beginning to intermediate gardening with success!

Great value. All-in-all, it's a very pleasant book, little or no "fluff", which is a good thing, and there is plenty of good content.

When you first look at the book, it has a nice cover and good materials. Then you open the book and there are black-and-white, fairly short chapters on a variety of topics, almost any topic that might be important to a new gardener. The type is a little smaller than I like, but not terrible.

I got the feeling that I was talking to a neighbor who just happens to be an expert gardener. There is nothing fancy here. There are no glossy pictures. What you will find is some good information. The title is appropriate, because he does take you step-by-step through the process of starting a backyard garden.
