Reviews for The Vegetable Gardening Book: Your complete guide to growing an edible organic garden from seed to harvest

Joe is a life-long vegetable gardener. He has the unique perspective of learning from his personal experiences in his own gardens and hosting a gardening podcast and TV show where he has gleaned tips from other expert gardeners. The result is this comprehensive, organic gardening book filled with Joe's inspiration and practical advice. -- Charlie Nardozzi, author of The Complete Guide to No-Dig Gardening Despite the many vegetable gardening books already on the market, Joe Lamp'l's entry is by far the best of the lot. The conversational tone made it especially easy to read. The comprehensive coverage of the topic, having everything in one place, and the handy index will prove invaluable for experienced and novice gardeners alike. The vegetable grow guide is a treasure. -- Lorraine Ballato, horticulturist, and author of Success with Hydrangeas ...one of my top five gardening books for beginners. It has everything a beginner gardener needs to know, from picking their spots to the things you wouldn't even think about, such as picking the right mulch. * Budget Earth * ...this is the only book on growing vegetables you need to have in your library. There are not enough superlatives to describe its comprehensive, step-by-step, description of the process of creating a food garden. * Los Angeles Daily News *
