Recommend your favorite gardening book

[wyogardener]

I've got an amazon.com gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket - anyone care to recommend their favorite (veggie) gardening books?

Patti has several books listed on the Library link.

I really love:
the edible garden
four season harvest

There is a local author - Howard Garrett whose books I really trust. He is a big part of the organics movement in Texas.

My most recent Favorite , would have to be:"Seed to Seed" by Suzanne Ashworth,

[Garden Green]

Square Foot Gardening - Mel Bartholomew
You Grow Girl - Gayla Trail
The Gardener's A-Z Guide to Growing Organic Food - Tanya L. K. Denckla

I also enjoyed Four Season Harvest by Eliot Coleman and I've got my eye on The Vegetable Garden Bible by Edward C. Smith (hint hint, anyone have a book review on this one?)

For me:

All New Square Foot Gardening: Mel Bartholomew
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: Barbara Kingsolver with Stephen Hopp and Camille Kingsolver

I'm a new veggie gardener and these books helped to take the edge off of my anxiety.

I'm new and am wondering if Garden Girl has written a book on urban sustainable gardens?

While not a "how to" book, Kingsolvers "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" is one of the best books I've read in years.

Got this book at the public library. Very detailed about how to keep pesky deer out of your garden. Good read.

Got this at library as well. Lots of great pictures and plant listings.
