This book was an outsiding handbook for home gardeners, and provides detailed information and guidance for a vast array of vegetables, and gives advice appropriate to in-ground, raiised bed, and container gardening methods. I really enjoyed just reading through and contemplating the various experiences I have had with my gardening experience. I am anxious to apply some of the advice to my upcoming Arizona fall/winter gardening season, and hope its guiance will improve my outcomes. An excellent book that meets and exceeded my expectations.

This book is a game changer! It is fantastic for all levels of gardeners but especially new gardeners. It goes over all kinds of techniques,tools, crops,etc. Very informative and beneficial! ( )

This book is exactly what you need if never tried a garden before. Shortly after getting this book, my husband and I started our first garden. It's getting results already.

This is a wonderful guide, especially for those new to vegetable gardening, that provides a wealth of information in an easy to understand format. Author, Noor Fatima, uses a very conversational tone throughout, making for a more enjoyable read. She provides information on the ‘why’ along with the ‘how-to’ which is very helpful and, in a lot of instances, very interesting, too! In addition to how to grow various types of vegetables and herbs, she also delves into the benefits and uses for them, which is a nice add.

All in all, I enjoyed this book and will be using the tips and information to help with my own backyard garden. ( )
