review 1: many gardening books make me feel dumb because they make it really complicated with plans and all of that. thought this was a really nice book-- she covered things in a mostly (realistic) way that makes sense for first timers and for people with limited space, not a lot of money, and with varying growing conditions--with lots of practical examples and lovely photos. would look at this again for a reference.
review 2: I picked this up on a trip to San Francisco because I fell in love with the images. This adorable hippie/gnome running around the garden with her wild strawberry blond hair sticking out and dirt under her fingernails. A woman after my own heart. After reading the book, I can say I'm happy I bought it and will be using it as constant reference from
... morenow on. Her frugality appeals to me: she uses junk like nobody's business and nothing goes to waste. There are instructions for making compost tea out of weeds and saving your own seeds, even from fruit you buy to eat at the grocery store. I covet her worm box to the point of sin. She's modern and smart and patient and I would love to have tea with her some day :-) less

Loved it! This book definitely exacerbated my early spring garden-fever.

Useful, but not as organized nor as comprehensive as I had hoped.
