Review by Library Journal Review

Klein, a well-respected gardener, shows how anyone with any sized plot can grow vegetables. This excellent book for a beginner provides advice from deciding where to start (containers or raised bed, for example) to knowing your soil and what to grow, as well as how and when. Sharp photos accentuate the information. Klein's Grow Your Own Fruit (ISBN 9781845336004. $19.95) is due out this month. (c) Copyright 2011.
