New Kitchen Garden

by Anna Pavord

English gardening expert Anna Pavord guides the reader in creating a productive and beautiful kitchen garden, covering topics from design and structure to cultivar selection. As with most British fruit and vegetable guides, many suggested plants are not available in the US, but the sage advice and inspiring photographs more than compensate.

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.
