  • Summary: Grow Great Grub
  • Comment: Although I haven't been able to follow through on the whole garden thing it's opened my eyes to a new way of approaching gardening. It not only includes gardening how-to's but things to make with your garden. I'm very hopeful that next year it will be a bible to me. If you're looking for great gardening ideas and you have a small space i.e apartment or studio this a great book to get your on your gardening feet.

  • Summary: Beautiful book, fun reading
  • Comment: LOVE this book! It's filled with color photos--pretty much on every page which is wonderful for me as I'm very visual and it really helps to see exactly what she's talking about. It also makes the book more accessible and fun to read. There are chapters on growing, harvesting, preservation and storage.

    Trail's tone is conversational and really makes gardening enjoyable as opposed to more of a chore. I've read gardening books that are so technical and advanced that it scared me off. This is the antidote to that. There are recipes and tips such as to how to deal with pests, this book is a feast and packs a lot of information into its 200 pages. Trail also has a website, You Grow Girl, the namesake of her first book, which I now want to read.

  • Summary: All the specs that you need
  • Comment: This book is a great help, especially for the container or balcony gardener. For each plant there is a small box that specifies the depth of the container required to grow the particular plant. This is really handy since a lot of seed packets don't have this info (I'm looking at you, Burpee).

  • Summary: Seriously awesome
  • Comment: I checked this book out from the library to help figure out my first veggie garden. I read the thing cover to cover, and was really impressed and amazed at the abundance of useful information. I've since purchased the book, as a reference to keep on hand, and I refer to it frequently. There are lots of colorful photos, and it is well organized. Her reasoning is clear as she explains how to choose and improve a location, rotate crops, amend soil, choose companion plants, and deal with pests and disease. She has specific suggestions for varieties of vegetables to try, and explains each vegetable family's pitfalls, with suggestions for how to avoid and deal with them.

    She addresses the differences between growing veggies and herbs in containers versus in the ground, and has specific suggestions for which things will benefit from being grown in containers. She also shares some great ideas for grouping containers. My favorite part of this book are her suggestions for companion planting to repel pests, attract good bugs, and for a million other good reasons. She explains how to use companion planting not only to maximizes space, but to improve the overall health and appearance of the garden.

    There are also a few recipes included, some look better than others. I'm particularly looking forward to trying the Opal Basil Jelly, and the Herbed Salts.

    This book is a really great comprehensive reference for the home organic gardener. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the interactions occurring in their veggie garden.
