P. B., Garden Writer

Anyone who is either new to food gardening in the South or has been unsuccessful in their previous attempts will appreciate this very useful new gardening book. Adams and LeRoy clearly explain the tricks to growing edibles from delicious veggies and fruits to fragrant herbs and flowers. Unlike many typical how-to books, this wisdom comes from the author's own hand-in-the-dirt experience, and it is beautifully illustrated with photographs sure to inspire the reader to create their own kitchen garden space. An excellant gift book that will be treasured for years.
