Customer Reviews

want-to-be gardener

I bought this for my dad who is always trying to have a garden but it always flops. He enjoyed it and had a great garden this year.

Terrific

What a fun book. It gives great information in easy to understand language that even kids can understand. It goes over everything from start (seedling) to finish (harvest).

Super Book for the Beginner

This is our first year for a garden, and this book is just the ticket. It lays things out very simply for the beginner. It has been invaluable for us.

VERY INSPIRING

I've always loved Jerry Baker's tips and knew I had to buy his vegetable gardening book when I decided to start my very first garden in 2001. I liked the fact that he included both gardening organically and with the use of chemicals. His ideas and tonics are simple and environmentally friendly which I think is very important today. He also encourages planning first and then planting. My first time out I had great success and am looking forward to planning next years crop. I highly recommend this book for beginners as well as those of you who don't want to waste time experimenting but learning from someone who has been gardening for many years.

Very Good Book, Full of Useful Info

This is a very good book which is full of useful gardening information and Jerry Baker's writing style is entertaining to read. I have been gardening for about 4 years with limited success. This book has provided me with lots of valuable information to hopefully improve my garden in the years to come. It has also given me the confidence to expand my garden and to try to grow some vegetables I have been afraid to try in the past.The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is not as organized as I would like and not as thorough as I had hoped. Being the novice gardener that I am, some of the information actually caused me to have more questions than answers.It is still a very good book that is enjoyable to read, and is darn well worth the money.
