Vegetable Gardening

From the introduction:We hope in this book to provide a basic, simple garden recipe on which the gardener can build and improvise as he gains knowledge and experience. Photographs and how-to illustrations are provided throughout to guide even the rank novice in performing such essential gardening activities as planting, fertilizing, watering, weeding, harvesting, and warding off insects and other pests. The experienced gardener will find Vegetable Gardening an invaluable reference for growing new vegetables and herbs, selecting the best varieties, and diagnosing unfamiliar growth problems.All gardeners will find useful such features as the detailed table of contents, glossary, index, pesticide charts, and the appendix listing of the 50 state Agricultural Extension Services through which one may obtain up-to-the-minute information to answer gardening questions.
