This book answers, with outstanding instruction, pictures and humor, any and all of your questions on vegetable gardening. Had Ed Smith published it earlier we would have saved a ton of dirt along with a ton of money! We keep it in our little greenhouse alll during the growing season as we refer to it daily. And we are now buying it for gifts for both novice and experienced gardening friends.

As a novice gardener I am constantly on the look-out for advice and information about vegetable gardening. This title kept popping up in all the seed catalogues as THE book to have -- so naturally I had to get it. I haven't been able to put it down! It's informative, calling attention to things you should do (companion planting, etc.) that make so much sense but that you may not have realized before reading this book. I have a feeling my garden will have a tremendous boost just because of what I've learned from the book! It's not a book you'd stick on the shelf and forget about. . . It's a hands-on roll-up-your-sleeves dig-in-the-dirt and have-right-beside-you-at-all-times book. . . a definite can't-live-without garden companion who will keep you from making silly veggie gardening mistakes and assist you with making great veggie gardening decisions.

It is a very detailed, helpful and inspiring vegetable gardening book. I go through the book almost every week. Nice pictures and writing style. I hope Mr. Ed Smith will write more books on vegetable gardening!

I really enjoyed this little booklet because it made aromatherapy self care so simple and easy to follow. Real preventative maintenance for stress and skin problems.
