More veggies please!!
This book is great for the beginner gardener like me, although I was dissapointed by the VERY small section on vegetable gardening. It does have lots of good tips for creating compost and improving your soil. I need to get "Vegetable Gardening for dummies"...or maybe "how to buy the right book for dummies"! ha ha
