My Favorite Gardening Books
- Gardening: The Complete Guide to Growing America’s Favorite Fruits and Vegetables, from the National Gardening Association.
I originally purchased this book in 1986 and have looked for it in recent years for friends but have not been able to find it. It has truly been my favorite gardening friend. The pages are starting to look like the well-worn pages of a cook-book!
- The Vegetable Gardener’s BIBLE by Edward C. Smith
This book is worth missing a meal to afford to buy! It not only has colorful pages for each vegetable but easy to understand instructions for sowing, soil preparation, harvesting, storing, and varieties. The first half of the book deals with starting plants, purchasing seeds, tools, fertilizing, irrigation, composting, pest, diseases, and much, much more. If you have this book you won’t need my advice!
