Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Kitchen gardeners will welcome Peel's extensive introduction to more than 150 essential vegetables, fruits, and herbs, including details on miniature varieties suitable for containers, and instruction on harvesting, storing, and freezing produce. Opening chapters deal with basic cultural information, followed by an encyclopedic plant directory that provides in-depth analysis of specific plants, augmented by handy charts, useful tips, and dramatic color photographs. The final section is devoted to troubleshooting through the use of an ingenious maze that guides readers through the intricate steps of identifying pests or diseases in such an entertaining way that gardeners may half wish for an infestation of aphids just so they can use this delightful diagnostic tool.Cleverly designed, carefully developed, and concisely detailed, this new gardening book is an indispensable, easy-to-use resource for horticultural information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Handy, Easy Reference Guide, August 2, 2008
This book has information needed to help you start a garden. The first of the book gives information about site prep, general care, planting through harvesting. The second part is a plant guide of over 150 fruits, herbs and vegetables. Included are plant descriptions, care charts, recommendations and planting advice. The last of the book covers plant problems and solutions.

I really like the part about composting. With everyone concerned with the environment and the rising cost of groceries, planting and composting just make more economic sense for families.

This is our second year of gardening and we're still working out the kinks and this books has helpful advice on gardening. Some of the information can be general but is good for a handy, easy, reference guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for a beginning gardener!, June 19, 2005
By Erin E. Raub "Erin R." (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is great for the beginning gardener, but lacked some information, such as average yield for each item the first year and subsequent years. But it was a great intro to fruit, vegetable, & herb gardening!
