Vegetable Gardening for Dummies Paperback – January 1, 2009

I was pleasantly surprised! This is one of the best books about vegetable gardening I’ve read. The chapters are very organized and thorough. I love Kindle!

Never having planted a vegetable garden, I decided to give this book a try. So far, so good. I like that the book is laid out in a way that allows you to jump around; you don't have to read from beginning to end. A great $ value given all of the information that's packed into this one book. Definitely give it a try and pass it on to someone else!

Great basic info! Easy to comprehend and gives some great ideas. There are several suggestions that one may not have thought of until reading through this material. By getting this book, I did not have to join a local garden club to learn my way around the yard, lol!

I have been using one version or another of these books at least to some degree ever since I first picked one up for my brother so he could work on his old Volkswagen, back in the late sixties! Of course back then they were a little more racy and included other more controversial ways to spend your break time between changing your spark plugs and your oil! They are still as informative as always with plentiful little side tips to keep you interested. Entertaining and informative with a little humor for good measure is still the way to go!

I bought this for my husband, who's just getting into vegetable gardening, and it's so helpful. The book tells how to prepare, plant, maintain and harvest all the vegetables we planted this year. Both of us are learning a lot, and we're now enjoying the fruits of our labor. It was the perfect gift for him; he tells others what a help it's been. And I'm learning a lot, too!

Thorough instruction on how to grow your own vegetables. It offers enlightening information in an easy to understand format while providing some humor.

Very helpful for beginner gardeners. This book explains the whole process in easy to understand language. Great to read when getting started and to keep on hand for reference in the future.

I've had potted vegetable before and a small 3 X 3 garden (that did not do very well) But, this year my boyfriend and I decided to make an 80 X 34 garden and plant everything possible. I was so happy to read that, for the most part, we were on the right track. I'm excited to try the different varieties next year of all the different vegetables that they list. They tell you how to care for, fertilize, compost, and plant each plant to the specifications. I just ordered Gardening with Free-Range Chickens and I'm so excited to involve the chickens in our process :)
