This book is packed full of information that you can use-- year after year.
It's a vegetable garden calendar with lists of things to do each month--plus there are troubleshooting, composting, planning sections and more. It's very comprehensive.
There's no wasted space--it's organized, thoughtful and the color photos are wonderful. This author gets a big thumbs up!
