All of the information that you need for vegetable success is right here at your garden-gloved fingertips . . .
- Read step-by-step advice on growing 32 delectable vegetables, from asparagus to zucchini (which you’ll find under “Squash”!).
- Find out the dirt on soil: Why testing is so important—and how to do it—as well as how to transform “blah” dirt to tiptop soil into which your plants will happily sink their roots.

- Write it down! Use the space provided for noting observations and experiences.
- Dig deeper with essential reference tables and charts, including frost dates for U.S. and Canadian regions
- What’s an Old Farmer’s Almanac guide without a little folklore and fun? You’ll find quotes and wit and wisdom sprinkled throughout the book. (Did you know that early Roman farmers referred to broccoli as “the five green fingers of Jupiter”?)
- Enjoy more than 150 full-color photos that perk up the pages and inspire you to get gardening.
- plus much more!

It was a gift for my ex-wife, and she says it's very good and informative. It's great that now she can dedicate herself to something productive.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book for Beginners
Love this book! Five stars. Two thumbs up. All the good things. Recommend to EVERYONE!!I finished my second year of gardening and I wish I’d had this book two years ago! It covers a little bit of everything without going so in depth it's overwhelming, and without glazing over it leaving you frustrated and more confused.The charts make it automatically worth the buy. It has companion planting, pH and water needs for each plant, frost dates, and tons of others. It has lots of pages for you to write in the book for notes (which I won’t do because that’s sacrilege, but they are good ideas for pages in my garden binder).Each veggie has about three pages dedicated to it. Planting, Care, Pests/Diseases, Harvest/Storage are covered. Plus recommended varieties, general info and tips (like rosemary will deter Mexican bean beetles). It covers fertilizing, troubleshooting and so many helpful things, specific to a certain veggie.It also has amusing quotes at the start of every chapter.I really can’t say enough wonderful things about it. This is my absolute favorite gardening book and I think it should be on everyone’s shelf.Definitely the perfect Christmas gift for the gardener in the family!
Superb
