I’ve been asked a few times recently about my favorite gardening books and was asked again this morning so perhaps its time I address that topic. Here are just a handful of my favorites:
Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long
Organic Gardening in Cold Climates
All New Square Foot Gardening
Rodale’s All-New Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening: The Indispensable Resource for Every Gardener
I constantly pick up gardening books, much like cookbooks and books on canning, at library book sales, yard sales, and thrift stores. I rarely pass one up, sometimes they’re worth keeping and sometimes not. I’ve learned that I don’t have to read every word, but just having them on hand sometimes is a great thing. Often times I get just a little tidbit of information from each book, but that tidbit is worth keeping the entire volume on my bookshelf.
Please feel free to add your favorites in the comment section.

Carrots Love Tomatoes…all the way. I carried that book around this spring like it was the Bible!
Great ideas. My current favorite gardening book is Projects for the Birder’s Garden. It was first published in 2003. You might want to watch for it (if you like bird in the garden, that is).
Becca – That is a great book! It’s been a while since I read it, I may need to borrow it from the library again this winter in prep for next summer.
Draabe – I like birds in my garden, however; I think my cats like it more and I feel bad for the poor birds…
