      January 07, 2009: In this age of increasing Localvores and home gardening to stretch a budget I think this is a helpful little book. It introduces and presents knowledge in an easy to learn style. The author's little jokes make it fun to read and study. It is going to improve the gardens of many folks, including my own.
