Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Springtime always brings a new crop of enthusiastic gardeners, and these two books will help those in pursuit of an edible garden. In The Harvest Gardener , McClure, a botanist and garden writer, discusses a wide range of topics, including seed selection and start-up, soil improvement, site selection, succession crops, pests and diseases, and harvest storage, preservation, and preparation. McClure intersperses her conversational and personal text with boxed charts and quoted advice from more than 50 contributors. While a true beginner may be overwhelmed, most gardeners will enjoy the cornucopia of information provided here. More concise in writing style and gardening technique is Riotte's Successful Small Food Gardens , which is a slightly revised edition of her 1977 Success with Small Food Gardens (Garden Way Pub.). Riotte, author of several organic and astrological gardening books, provides sound advice on companion planting, vertical gardening, edible and ornamental flowers and shrubbery, container gardening, and other techniques to get the most produce from a small garden. A useful purchase for collections that do not have the previous edition.

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.

This is a great little book for someone who wants to get serious about gardening in the deep south. Short. Easy to understand. What you need to know. I bought it as a gift for my niece. I have had my own for years and didn't want to part with it.

Just what a beginner gardener needed in St. Petersburg, Florida

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2007

When I began my search for information on what to do with my yard and garden, I looked to the internet, and soon found that a lot of information was geared toward climates where there is actually a winter with SNOW and summers that don't suck the life out of you. Since I was gardening and landscaping in Central Florida, I was hoping I'd find a reference for a hot humid climate. I was lucky enough to find this book at my local public library and it has proved a valueable resource. One of the things I like best about this book are the plant lists (such as the 20 best perennials) and the month by month section on what to do in the garden. And I know I can trust it because it is tailored to my climate! I give it 4 out of 5 stars because there were some times I wanted more information about a certain plant and had to go elsewhere to look it up. I suppose it would have been quite a hefty book if it included all the info I wanted.

All in All, I think this is a great book, and I think I may break down and buy it for a penny at the Amazon Marketplace.

Warm-climate Gardening Tips

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2013

I was expecting a book with a little more specific information. Instead all the author wrote was to try different things and see if they will grow in your zone. Nothing really helpful for those of us who have been gardening in a warm climate or have access to the internet for help.
