Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I dislike this book. The layout is not that great either. I feel like it does not give the information in a beginner fashion as I have seen in other topics from this series. Most of the info is too general to use in my opinion. To be fair it does give some good info, but you would have to go somewhere else (online, another book, etc.) to get a better idea of that information for a beginner.

⭐I learned a lot in this book. Read almost the whole thing before I planted my garden last spring

⭐Never having planted a vegetable garden, I decided to give this book a try. So far, so good. I like that the book is laid out in a way that allows you to jump around; you don’t have to read from beginning to end. A great $ value given all of the information that’s packed into this one book. Definitely give it a try and pass it on to someone else!

⭐Even though I know some about growing flowers & veggies, this is refreshing as I can reference to it at anytime. I also like it because it told me a few tips that I didn’t even know or think about. In addition, it refers to veggies that I’ve never heard of & some that I have been interested in growing but I can take this to the doctors office & read while I wait.

⭐I was pleasantly surprised! This is one of the best books about vegetable gardening I’ve read. The chapters are very organized and thorough. I love Kindle!

⭐A great ” for dummies” book. Good info.

⭐Thorough instruction on how to grow your own vegetables. It offers enlightening information in an easy to understand format while providing some humor.

⭐Great basic info! Easy to comprehend and gives some great ideas. There are several suggestions that one may not have thought of until reading through this material. By getting this book, I did not have to join a local garden club to learn my way around the yard, lol!

⭐I found this book to be invaluable to gardening. Too many gardening books are filled with latin and botany terms and assume you are well versed in how to garden. I always end up not actually finding out what I wanted to know, which is how to grow a vegetable garden and why vegetables need to be grown the way they are.This book will become my go to refrence book while planning and planting my garden.The author is enthusiastic about gardening and it shows in his writing.The explanation in each section of the different vegetable groupings and what they need to grow is exactly what I want in a how to garden book.This book gives it straight up, no mucking about, this is what you need and this is how to do it.

⭐Love this book. Has tons of information and ideas to use to help with your garden. Some of my friends have even asked to look at it to get idea’s and information and have now purchased for themselves

⭐I am still failing at gardening, but it is no fault of this book. This book is lovely, easy to follow, a LOT of information.

⭐With Covid my son decided to plant a garden like 1,000 of other people.Book was a great gift

⭐Very informative book delivered on time and in perfect condition. Thanks
