This book was well written and is perfect for the first-time gardener. It also has great recipes in the back of the book that I intend to try come gardening season.

A basic, straight-forward guide to vegetable gardening. Well organized. Very good general info on how to prepare your garden and get best results. And recipes too! I liked the tone and simple structure of this book. I'll be referring back to it all Spring & Summer.
