A great all-around gardening reference, covering vegetables, fruits, trees, and more. It's my go-to guide for most gardening questions, from what different plants prefer to how to prune an apple tree. This is for more traditional garden areas (not sure how it would translate to the Southwest, for example).

I had to have this cookbook. Had to. While I am currently a urban apartment dweller, my heart and soul are those of a gardener and a foodie. Some folks do fantasy football or create virtual farms on Facebook, but me, I read gardening and cookbooks like novels and create beautiful fantasies of the wondrous things I will grow and make someday. And this book will keep me in lovely dreams at least until the farmers markets start up and I can start to cook some of these tantalizing recipes.

Great reference book. She is married to Eliot Coleman. I found the answeer to a question about insect damage to tomatoes and peppers only in this book, after searching on the web and within several gardening forums. She covers both ornamentals and food crops. A keeper.

A good general reference. A surprising amount of detail given the space constraints.
