Another Recommended Gardening Book

The gardening book that has been the most helpful to me as a new gardener has been Burpee's The Complete Vegetable and Herb Gardener: A Guide to Growing Your Garden Organically by Karan Davis Cutler. It is not only a gorgeous book which inspires me to try to grow things, it is also extremely practical and well-organized. The first 8 chapters each focus on an important basic aspect of gardening, such as gardening tools, planning your garden, and coping with garden problems. The rest of the book provides plant profiles and growing advice for over 100 major vegetables and herbs. I think I purchased this book for around $25 from Amazon.
