My reference library gets bigger every year. I’m a sucker for a good book… especially of the gardening kind. As much as I love trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals, I am a nuts over growing vegetables and eating meals fresh from the garden. Here is my list of vegetable gardening books that I would highly recommend:
The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible by Edward C. Smith- All in one general reference book
Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew- Valuable for gardeners with small plots
Lasagna Gardening by Patricia Lanza- No dig gardening. Love it.
Carrots Love Tomatoes by Louise Riotte- How to make the most of companion planting.
1001 Garden Questions Answered by Alfred C. Mottes- An old reference book (published in 1939) that I love.
Grocery Gardening- Great growing tips as well as recipes from friends that I met on twitter.
Serving Up the Harvest- A “go to” book for seasonal cooking.
Storing the Harvest-Great info on how to save, put up and freeze your seasonal produce.
I’m sure I’ve missed a couple but I will update it as they come to me. Do you have a favorite book that you would like to recommend? Please do!
