A little dated, but still delightful and useful.

Picked up years ago at a library sale. I don't think I've ever specifically used it and I'm not entirely sure it gives much more useful information than the seed packet (but I suppose that's true of all gardening books).

I turn to this book over and over again when growing fruits and vegetables. It offers great, basic advice for growing good food :)

Also, tons of ideas for different garden layouts, designs, etc.
