[Ellen Bell · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was disappointingly lacking in-depth information on really any subject. It touched briefly on many various aspects of gardening, from location, to soil improvement, to how to grow specific types of crops. I would give it 2 stars, but it did contain a lot of great photographs, and because those were so enjoyable, I'll give it 3.

Practical Gardener's Guide to Growing Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs: A Complete How to Handbook for Gardening for the Table by Richard Bird (Anness 2007) (635.0). This is a thorough “How to” book for gardeners whether experts or beginners. My rating: 7/10, finished 2009.

This book was not as helpful as I wanted it to be. The content was rather all over the place and is probably better suited for more advanced gardeners, although at that point I doubt this book would help you much.
