GREAT BOOK!

Mr. Smith has produced an invaluable resource that will become a standard---I've had this book for a couple of years, but this year was the first I've had opportunity to put his words to practice. He's dead-on in his excellent advise, so this year's modest garden will definitely grow next year. I'm wearing out my copy from use---a book well-loved indeed! If your planning a vegetable garden and need help---look no further. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Vegetable Gardener...

I wish I would had bought this book long time ago. So much it is written out there but this book gives you a clear explanation and it is so well written.

Great book, but I hope to see corrections and clarifications in a future edition!

Highly useful book, and a future edition that contained a few corrections and clarifications would be just about perfect.

The author mentions companion planting without discussing mechanisms, which makes typos hard to decipher. The "Artichoke" page states that tarragon is a good companion to artichokes, but the "Tarragon" page states that artichokes are a BAD companion to tarragon. Which is it?

The author also instructs novice tomato growers to remove all "nonflowering stems that grow between the main stem and the leaf crotches." What does this mean?! All stems will flower eventually...
(Of course pruning is controversial anyway... some gardeners claim that the complexity of tomato flavor depends upon lush foliage.)

The "Parsnip" section also has some vague instructions in the opening paragraph: "I deposit some seeds and labor in the warm months, and my investment matures the following spring." Does that mean that parsnips should be planted late summer/ early fall? What exactly is done in the warm months? The rest of the text does not explain this.

Awesome...

I'm a city girl with no gardening experience whatsoever-- this book was a good guide and now my family is enjoying the fresh veggies I planted just months ago. I think this is an amazing tool for the beginning gardener.

I had to buy two of these

My nephew was starting a garden like me I gave him my copy and got a new one. This is a great book and it has helped me to be a gardner.
