Great reference book! December 30, 2009
Mary McCanta (Oakland, CA United States)
I'm just starting to grow vegetables so I want all the information I can find to help make my efforts a success. What I love most about this book is that the description of each vegetable includes information on growing it in a cold climate AND in a mild climate.
I live in a mild climate so I can grow many things in the winter that would I not try to grow in a harsher climate this time of year. So many of the vegetable books and websites I've looked at assume that freezing weather in the winter is a given and that simply isn't the case here.
This book has been so helpful while planning and planting my new garden! I also recommend the book Incredible Vegetables from Self-Watering Containers: Using Ed's Amazing POTS System. My first batch of spinach is now sprouting in a self-watering container and I hope to grow many more veggies with the help of these two books.

Monkeyman (New York)
I was looking for a way to get myself motivated to start my little vegetable garden, and then this book appeared. A little inclination and a little instruction is all it took to get me going full speed. I liked the easy-to-follow advice this book gave me. Clear and concise, I felt like I was being led by the hand.
And, I love the cover!

David F. A. (USA)
This is a simple to follow book on growing vegetables. It is thorough and as the title suggests it is complete. The master gardener who wrote it does not gloss over details. I am using it right now to plant my garden. The bullet point format helps me get to the info I need. I received this as a gift and I will be using it often.
