My husband wants to grow vegetables for the first time, and I think this will be a perfect resource for him. I'm getting it for him for our anniversary, which happens at a critical time for planting. Can't wait to eat all these fresh veggies from our own backyard!

An incredibly insightful book in the a-z of home vegetable gardening. Takes into account the soil type, how to test soil, growing conditions, companion planting and more!

This is a book all home veggie growers should own.

My only complaint is the formating of the book I received made for a double page spread meaning it was extremely inconvenient to zoom in to read and then zoom out to change page and broke the flow of my reading.

I will be buying this book when it releases!

Overall, I thought The Complete Guide to Vegetable Garden: Create, Cultivate, and Care For Your Perfect Edible Garden was a fantastic reference and educational book on teaching anyone how to garden. With the book’s easy-to-read format and down-to-earth approach, it is easy for anyone to learn how to grow their own, even through unconventional methods, such as hydroponics. I love the areas of the books talking about protecting your garden through various methods and later preserving your hard work once you have vegetables.

I loved how detailed this book was and as a teacher it would be really fun to have students read over the different vegetables and discuss what they’d like to include in our vegetable garden. They would also be able to research some information in this book and would help me ensure the best outcome possible!

This is a book every gardener needs. It is so detailed and completely full of information. I love how it shows tools and equipment you will need. They tell you what are the companion vegetables, harvesting, how to can and pickle. The best part of the book are the chapters with the gallery of vegetables. Lots of pictures. Great book!

A great read for the gardener inside you! This book is good for both seasoned gardeners and newbies, because it really covers so many angles. It is easy to read, it is well structured, and I love the pictures in the book. Highly recommended!

Whether you have a proper garden, a balcony or simply a windowsill where you are planning to have your own herbs, this book is going to be your comprehensive guide from A to Z. We have just moved into a new home where I have a green patch to play with. This book is full of great ideas I will use when I start my gardening adventure next spring.
