We’re putting in our first vegetable garden and are absolutely clueless about the process. We have several gardening books that assume there’s at least a basic understanding of the gardening principles. We needed a basic book and got it with the Dummies book. For right now, for this first garden, this is the book we’re using.

This is a great book for any vegetable gardener. It is easy to follow and you don’t have to read it from start to finish. It is laid out so you can go to the sections that interest you the most. I am a first year gardener, and I got many, many compliments on my first ever vegetable garden, thanks mostly to the help of this book. A must have!

I have other gardening books, but none of them are as easy-to-follow or as comprehensive as this one. The text is so much fun, it’s easy to read cover-to-cover. Yet, if you need specific information on a certain type of vegetable or technique, the index is very easy to use. The appendix gives the dates and growing seasons for every major (or minor) city in the U.S., as well as additional resources and catalogs to consult. A wonderful resource for a novice or an experienced gardener.

Like the rest of the books in the Dummies series, this book takes a light-hearted approach to a heavy topic such as gardening. By focusing on vegetables the content remains helpful and informative. The book was divided into sensible sections–the basics, what to plant, how to plant, and so forth. I appreciated the instruction on gardening beginnings such as constructing a bean pole and what tools a novice needs. The last half of the book talks about specific vegetables, and has handy information on what grows best where. I believe this makes a good first-time gardener book or a companion to a book with more pictures.
