Reviews
The handbook’s month-by-month structure is easy to follow, helping the reader plan, prepare, plant, and harvest. . . . This guide has solid information packed with common sense.
Publishers Weekly
Whether you’re gardening in Alabama or Arizona, these guides offer monthly planting calendars with instructions for all four seasons.
CookingLight
Emphasizes the importance of knowing one’s garden and its various microclimates.
NYBG Plant Talk
An absolute delight to look at and to hold. . . . a gardening book that you will want to refer to often.
Washington Gardener
It’ll turn even an apprehensive dirt-digger into an obsessive vegetable gardener, and a successful one at that.
Garden & Gun
Great, beginner-oriented gardening book. . . . it piles on the tips, charts and checklists.
The Denver Post
Straightforward, clear and packed with information.
Pacific Northwest Magazine
This is the book that I would give to a neighbor or friend looking to get started at vegetable gardening in the Pacific Northwest.
Garden Therapy
This book is everything a backyard gardener could want in an instructional guide. . . . Whether you are a newbie gardener or a gardening veteran, there will be something to learn with this book.
The Revolving Bookcase
The writing here is as crisp as the layout. . . . Best of all, it’s hard to think of anything NOT covered here. . . and yet there’s no sense of the text book in these pages, and only that homey feel one gets while actually gardening. Nicely done.
