Burpee : The Complete Vegetable & Herb Gardener

A Guide to Growing Your Garden Organically

By Karan Davis Cutler, Cavagnarok David (Photographer),

Barbara W. Ellis, Davis Karan Cutler (Editor)

Reviews:

Burpee has created a truly encyclopedic, but non-intimidating, guide to organic vegetable gardening that can be used and appreciated by anyone, whether or not they've ever stuck a seed in the ground.

All the essential information is here--how to condition the soil, how and where to plant, sprouting schedules, what kind of yield to expect from each plant variety, and harvesting tips--in beautiful, bountiful, illustrated detail; the book's largest section, "Plant Portraits," contains explanations of the many cultivars of each vegetable and herb.

If you're a novice vegetable gardener or new to organic gardening and can only afford one gardening guide, this may be your best value.

Synopsis:

A companion to Burpee Complete Gardener, this book focuses on all aspects of growing organic vegetables and edible herbs in the home garden. Planting techniques and tools, garden design, and more than 90 individual plant portraits are included. 300 full-color photos.
