This is a great companion to Dick's other fabulous gardening book "The Joy of Gardening". I always thought the "JOG" was the best gardening book ever. This book, Gardening Year, establishes the time table necessary to achieve your desired results. Buy them both!
The absolute BEST gardening book there is

I learned to garden using this book...my own copy is well worn from years of consulting it Dick's methods really work, and you can adapt the time tables to any climate...This book makes the job of starting a gardening so easy... I have about 50 different gardening books...on various topics, and THIS book is the one I turn to over and over...Using intensive planting methods, as Dick does, gives you the absolute optimum gardening yields, with a minimum of weeding and watering...a truly easy care garden...spend your time eating, not weeding!!!!
Great gardening reference

This is the best comprehensive gardening book I have read. I have had it out of my local library so many times that I felt the need to purchase a copy of my own. It tells you step-by-step what you need to be doing each month to prepare your gardening for the entire year. You can also use as a reference for individual vegetables and plants. I highly recommend it and have even gotten a few friends and relatives hooked on it.
