As an avid gardener, I was thrilled to see a book created just for my gardening home of NJ. I immediately felt a kinship reading Iannotti's words of not being able to pass up a seed catalog without coming out with acres more of seeds than I could grow in my planting area.

I found her ideas and descriptions marvelous for both new gardeners and even established gardeners like myself. GROW GREAT VEGETABLES IN NEW JERSEY will give a new gardener all the steps required to start gardening as well as refresh an established gardeners outlook on what to do and what they may have forgotten or overlooked along the way.

I received this copy of GROW GREAT VEGETABLES IN NEW JERSEY from Timber Press. This is my honest and voluntary review. GROW GREAT VEGETABLES IN NEW JERSEY is set for publication April 19, 2019.

Great advice. The month by month section was nice. Nothing profound but a decent resource.

I've never been to the Northeast and I can't afford to travel, so I like to look at books about what life is like in the Northeast. I love gardening and I am totally unfamiliar with the climate of the Northeast (apparently they have real winters there?? Thank God the Pacific Northwest avoids those things...) so I checked out Timber Press's whole series from Marie Iannotti, Growing Great Vegetables in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.

Funny story, each of these books contain the same information with only a few variations. Still, lots of great info about gardening in the Northeast, I place I will probably never visit. Some great tips about vegetable gardening in general, regardless of where you are (especially if you need help maintaining your garden during the winter). So if you live in the region, these books will be very useful. If you're just an armchair traveler / gardener, then you'll find some great info.

Also no way am I ever living in any of those states. First frost in September? SEPTEMBER??!?! No thank you. I'll stay in the West, where by September most of the west is still on fire.
