      This is a good book, well written with lots of good information. This is a must read for gardeners of all levels.

      This is a lovely little book. I have been carrying it around in my purse to read whenever I get the chance. There is a wealth of information in the book and it is easy to read. The author makes gardening easy to understand and doesn't overwhelm me with things to do but sticks to the basics so gardening is easily manageable for someone like me who hasn't done it before. Thanks for a great book!

      I teach basic vegetable gardening classes at the public libraries in the area as part of the Master Gardener program. I have read many gardening books and guides and I am always looking for a basic guide to reference and to recommend to my students. As far as introductory vegetable gardening goes this book touches all of the right topics with an appropriate level of detail for the beginning gardener. My approach is exactly the same. The only criticism I have is that the planting guide only is right for, perhaps, the British gardener and is not an adequate guide for many areas of the US and there is no reference to an appropriate guide or other guidance on the subject.. Many new gardeners do not understand that the geographical area has a huge impact on when to plant the various crops. I would have recommended the recipe section of the book be omitted and more gardening info included, I did not find it added much to the subject of the book. All in all very nice effort.

      New to vegetable and food gardening? This is a great book to help you get started. It is just the right of information to get you started without being intimidating. The book covers: how to get started including spacing and how to build a raised bed, compost and my favorite part talking about worms, then planting seeds. Rather than go over a ton of different plants, the author focuses on "Grower's Top 10," including herbs, summer and winter salads, and a handful of other fairly easy to grow plants. I'm a fair-weather and lose interest fast type of gardener BUT I think this book may help me stick with gardening a bit more this year. I've already learned a few tricks that are helping me not kill my plants before they have a chance to grow into edible food.
