Synopsis The editors at the always reliable Sunset Magazine turn their attention to the backyard garden in this guide to growing vegetables, berries, fruits, and much more. Concentrating on the Western states (including Alaska and Hawaii), the book tackles everything a beginning gardener needs to know about not only planting and growing but also the aesthetics of the garden plan and the use of decorative (and useful) adjuncts like trellises and paths. The advice is brisk and efficient but also comprehensive, and the photographs are glorious.
