  • I need more

  • 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

  • Just what I needed

    The book was just what I was looking for.

    All dummies series books are usually good. This book didn't let me down. It has very informative and very usuful information. I have other gardening books but this really is for the newer gardener to use for information.

  • Thank you. Great job!
