Canadian Vegetable Gardening - Book Review

Douglas Green's Guide to Canadian Vegetable Gardening is succinct and lacking the usual verbal diarrhea. It is obvious that Doug knows that the manure belongs in the garden not on the printed page.

His writing style is an easy gentle and informative read. The centre section of this book focuses on intensive vegetable production. Here Doug covers crop rotation, interplanting and even those vegetables to grow in less than full sun.

His alphabetical list of vegetables and herbs are each distilled ot the necessary information. For me the fun part of the book was the additional information Doug provides on each plant.

Douglas Green's Guide to Canadian Vegetable Gardening is a fine addition to my personal horticultural library.
