 I Eat Worms August 14, 2010
Steven J. Wiedefeld
First of all, I like to eat worms and I jump into my pool from off of my roof naked, so I hope you like my review. The book is great. It is all about Edibles. It tasted great.

This is a wonderfully structured book with lots of great photos. Amazon is also wonderful by standing by its products and assuring the customer is satified. Thank you Amazon.

The Original Western Garden Book is an impressive product, especially useful for determining plant species, varieties or cultivars that will do well in defined climate zones of the west. I was hoping that this book would do the same, but in greater detail, for the fruit and vegetable gardener. Fruit trees and vines are reasonably well-covered, but the section on the vegetable garden did not list named varieties with areas in which they would be successful. Sadly, I bought the book based on the assumption that it would. I feel the book fails to live up to what it should have been.

I love this book! It's organized in a way that makes it easy to find specific information for my edible garden. I can quickly find instruction on choosing, planting and harvesting vegetables, herbs, and fruit, in addition to information on common problems such as pests and diseases. It includes many photos, and has helped me grow a garden that not only produces these wonderful edible plants, but is also beautiful and restful. This is by far the best guide I've found for amateur gardeners interested in eating what they grow!
Awesome book! Great condition, delivered quickly May 24, 2010
