This book is short, but an enjoyable read. I grew up in a house with a big yard and have many happy memories planting and growing things in the garden with my dad, "Mr. Green Thumb". Well, there was a lot of experimentation involved for both of us, and things didn't always turn out as planned, but we had fun.This book will take a lot of the guesswork out of creating your organic garden. Then when (what season), where (sunshine or shade) and the how of gardening. The author even suggests some really creative ways to have an organic garden if you're short on space; like upside-down gardens, balcony gardens, an old boot and even a canoe. I'm limited on space these days and will have to come up with somethign creative. The upside down garden has appeal and I would like to try that.Especially interesting are the many ways to keep pests at bay; like planing one kind of plant near another that pests may not like. Or using harmless things on your plants like diatomatious earth.Overall a fun read with some great tips that you can put to use right away to create a beautiful organic garden you'll be proud of.
