This book is great if you have little to no gardening experience.
The way Resh shares her gardening techniques, how to pick locations, planning the layout, how to make a raised bed takes the guesswork out of setting up your Vegetable garden.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me access to an ARC.

This is perfect if you have little to no gardening experience. Resh shares her gardening techniques, how to pick locations, planning the layout, how to make a raised bed. Pictures are so helpful.

Thank you to the author, Cool Springs Press and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a solid, comprehensive and extremely helpful guide for beginning gardeners, but I am certain that more experienced gardeners will also profit from the read. Structured in a very logical way, starting from choosing a location for your garden and then deciding what to grow and when, the author takes us step by step toward successful gardening, without overloading on information and at the same time providing some tips for troubleshooting problems. I loved the fact that the author included her own story, and did not hold back with sharing her missteps. Enhanced with gorgeous photos, this is a must for any beginning gardener!

This is a comprehensive gardening book for the new or moderately experienced gardener. I've been gardening for many years and have read so many gardening books that they all sort of blur together after a while. I don't know that this one offered a lot that others don't already cover, but it has beautiful photos and lots of info. I wasn't a big fan of the photos because they are mostly of expensive gardening projects the author's landscaping company did and they look so fancy that it would honestly intimidate me if I were a new gardener. I don't have gorgeous, perfect raised beds in a row with imported gravel all around them and stuffed with perfect vegetables with not a single blemish, but that's okay. Our garden is full of healthy plants for almost no money, which I would have liked to see a bit more of in the book.

Good manual for new and experienced gardeners
Full of good information for the new, and reminders for the experienced gardener. From the basics of plotting to sowing guides, plans for raised beds and protecting to delay loss from frost. There is advice about controlling pests and fertilization. It's a good book to have. I intend to buy one for my friend.
I requested and received a NetGalley arc to peruse gratis and offer my opinion in the same.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for access to this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Well, this book is a wealth of information !! Even if there's no frost or fall in my country, all the tips, advice, it will really help me when I get a real garden. If you've been thinking about planting what you eat, this is the way to go !

I have been gardening for a few years now and I still found this book to be super helpful and easy to read and understand. I think no matter the level of gardener, it is nice to get back to the basics and read them again. I especially loved the friend or foe companion planting chart and plan on printing that for my own gardening notebook. I read this during the quiet fall season and it motivated me to get planning on my garden for the next year and start plotting!

This is your all-stop-shop for vegetable gardening basics along with lots of more in-depth knowledge tips and tricks. I was impressed with how thorough the author details everything and sections it out in a way that makes it really easy to navigate. As a beginner, I will say the extensive information can feel very overwhelming, but I absolutely love having a book with everything I need to know in one place because trying to utilize a search engine online instead is even MORE overwhelming. I can't wait for this spring where I can start incorporating a lot of these tips in my own garden! It's never too early to start my planning though!

Resh started out her garden with soil from a construction site, needless to say there were no nutrients in the soil, so she learned how to put compost and good topsoil in her garden and it started to thrive!
Resh encourages you to look at you tube, pinterest, gardening sites and any other sites that will help you to visualize what you want your garden to look as you plan it out.

Choose plants that will grow during certain seasons and grow what your family likes to eat!

You can choose to grow one crop in your garden or choose (thrillers), tall plants such as corn, sunflowers, wheat tomatoes and kale, or climbers such as cucumbers, beans and peas, (fillers) such as sweet potatoes, strawberries, pumpkins or melons, and (spillers) peppers, eggplants, spinach and herbs.

You are shown how to build raised beds, the differing types of irrigation, and the easiest types of crops to grow (check your locally grown crops for the best type of crop, and also how to prevent weeds and protect your crop from insects and 4 legged animals.

You are also given directions and illustrations of how to plant seeds, where to start them and what kind of container to use.

This is a virtual encyclopedia of how to start and care for your garden - enjoy!

Resh Gala's Vegetable Gardening Made Easy is an excellent resource for the beginner gardener. But it also has some great tips and tricks for those of us with a little more experience. The beautiful color photography guides you step by step, from creating a garden design, preparing healthy soil, and germinating your seeds, right through to harvesting and storing your plants. Particularly helpful for me was the section on propagating herbs.

I loved the charts Resh included, especially the list of easy to grow crops and the guide to sowing your seeds. And she even includes some recipes at the end. This entire book is a resource that I would come back to again and again--this is definitely going on my "to recommend" list, and I would absolutely consider purchasing the finished copy.

Special thanks to Quarto Publishing/Cool Springs Press for making a copy of this book available to review through NetGalley.
