Personal Review: The Edible Garden (Sunset) by Editors of
Sunset Books
Whether you are a master gardener or a beginner, this book would make a
fine addition to your library. It is an excellent "how-to", with many color
photos (distant and close-up for detail) and nicely-done illustrations.

No, this is not a "hoity-toity" book that is out of most working peoples' price
range - it covers the spectrum of gardeners out there, from the most
independent "do-it-yourselfer" to those who want to give ideas to their
contractor or hired gardener.
The topics cover not only traditional "in ground" gardening but also touch
on urban gardening, raised bed and container gardening, not to mention
cold frames and overwintering non-zoned plants. Speaking of traditional
gardening, this book also covers innovations for traditional beds; my
favorite being
a grid-shaped trellis for keeping the Asparagus bed neat.
The book also touches on:
* Making a "formal" garden with edibles;
* Edible flowers and scented edibles;
* Beneficial insects;
* How to make chidrens' garden spaces (and how to get the kids involved);
* Making attractive but still very functional critter-proof fencing (deer and
groundhogs, to name a few); and
* How to overwinter non-hardy plants and trees, especially in regards to
growing container citrus trees.
If you're just starting out into gardening, this would be a "must-have" book
for you. If you've some gardening experience under your belt, this is still
an excellent book to have as it has innovative but still very useful and
functional ideas for your garden and yard.
All in all, five stars for the book. I just wish it was longer - 192 pages was
just a teaser.
