The Old Farmer's Almanac Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook: Essential Step-by-Step Advice for Growing Vegetables and Achieving Success

This book is fantastic! I am an experienced gardener and I found new information. Broken up into chapters and sections for veggies and herbs-soil tips-some companion gardening-pests and diseases. Color photos and easy read. Quick for references. I have now ordered 2 other books in the series. Great book if you are just getting started or just want a reference book.

Love this book! Five stars. Two thumbs up. All the good things. Recommend to EVERYONE!! I finished my second year of gardening and I wish I’d had this book two years ago! It covers a little bit of everything without going so in depth it's overwhelming, and without glazing over it leaving you frustrated and more confused. The charts make it automatically worth the buy. It has companion planting, pH and water needs for each plant, frost dates, and tons of others. It has lots of pages for you to write in the book for notes (which I won’t do because that’s sacrilege, but they are good ideas for pages in my garden binder). Each veggie has about three pages dedicated to it. Planting, Care, Pests/Diseases, Harvest/Storage are covered. Plus recommended varieties, general info and tips (like rosemary will deter Mexican bean beetles). It covers fertilizing, troubleshooting and so many helpful things, specific to a certain veggie. It also has amusing quotes at the start of every chapter. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about it. This is my absolute favorite gardening book and I think it should be on everyone’s shelf. Definitely the perfect Christmas gift for the gardener in the family!

I’m so happy to have this book. It’s packed with excellent information. The detail and info about using one item vs another is crazy helpful. Nice illustrations/live fotos and info on recommended plant varieties. I can see myself using this for a long long time! I like the thickness of the pages too

Got this book for my sister, who is a beginner gardener. She loves it!!

Tons of great info. Easy to follow

Takes me back to my childhood reading everything my father did . Very cool will always be fantastic to read ! Great info !

Vegetable garden handbook helps help me a lot with learning about my vegetables how to take care of them how to take care of the soil and it comes with the basic vegetables that we all eat and use daily. I’m in love with this book learning each day.

I originally purchased this for my sister-in-law who is just getting started in gardening. I started looking through it as a seasoned gardener, and I found some very helpful information. I ended up ordering a second for myself!

This is it. This is literally it.

Informative.

Very good book worth getting thanks

I wanted a book that covered typical, usual vegetables that I grow. This book really covered a large range of topics that I found helpful and useful. If you're a gardener at any level, I highly recommend this book. Would also make a fantastic gift for the gardener in your life.

Was a gift for my daughter's birthday she has an allotment and says she loves it
