I’ve been planning to plant a vegetable garden so I decided to give this book a try. I am a beginning gardener and found some helpful tips for successfully getting my garden going. I would say this is an intermediate level book, so it lacks some of the absolute basics you may be looking for. But for someone with even a little bit of experience, this book is a helpful tool. The tone is confident without being condescending or bossy. Just valuable gardening advice that can help you grow a more substantial garden An intermediate level book on vegetable gardening. Assumes that you know the "basics", and concentrates on a more advanced level of growing. Really hits the different types of vegetables that you can grow. Covers many of the more common varieties, but also includes rare or unusual strains of vegetables. Beautifully photographed. As it's the time of year when I'm poring over the latest garden catalogs, planning this year's gardens, it really helped me to decide what to plant! There is a lot of information in this book. As noted in the synopsis above, Mastering the Art of Vegetable Gardening is not an entry level book. It’s a book for someone who already has the basics down. It is, though just chock full of information about all manner of vegetables. There are lots of beautiful photos to make what is essentially a reference book a pleasant reading experience. The book goes in to a deep dive for each vegetable it profiles offering up all you need to know about the varieties and how to grow them. It’s not a book that you read cover to cover. It’s a book that you keep on hand to be there to answer your questions when you want to know something about say, planting cruciferous vegetables. It’s an excellent addition for every gardener’s library. Mastering the Art of Vegetable Gardening Rare Varieties * Unusual Options * Plant Lore & Guidance by Matt Mattus Gardening may sound easy...take a seed, stick it in the ground and water it...voila...a plant. Well, it is often much more difficult than that! Knowing which plants will thrive where you live may not be enough because there are always pests or amendments or any number of other things to take into consideration. This book provides the novice and the master gardener with information that will assist in creating a beautiful vegetable garden with the additional information of how to avoid foibles the author encountered in his years of gardening. The photos of the plants are gorgeous and made me almost want to take up a shovel and do some planting but as that is my husband’s domain I instead shared some of what I learned with him. There are several unusual varieties I had not seen before of vegetables I eat weekly and I might look for some of those seeds to gift my husband with in the future. Definitely a book I could sit and read in greater detail and one I would consider gifting a gardener with in the future. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Cool Springs Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.
Beautiful colorful illustrations of seeds to seedlings to plants. The book covers rare varieties of vegetables with helpful charts and descriptions. A gardener can never have too many books or suggestions on growing the best plants. It’s winter and the vibrant pictures make me eager to start browsing the seed catalogs. This is a wonderful addition to any gardeners library. ( )
