The Vegetable Gardening Book is an encyclopedic no-nonsense guide for getting an edible harvest from the garden written by Joe Lamp'l. Released 6th Sept 2022 by Quarto on their Cool Springs Press imprint, it's 256 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats.

This is a well written, accessible, guide to fruit and vegetable gardening. It's beautifully and clearly photographed throughout. The specific crop guides are useful and not exaggerated or overly complex. The text is clear and specific with good info on troubleshooting and pest control. The author covers seed starting pretty well and gives practical usable advice for getting seeds started, hardening off, transplanting, caring for the plants in the garden, through to harvesting.

Five stars. One of the best gardening books I've reviewed in 2022, maybe the best, definitely top 5. This would be a great pick for public or school library acquisition, gardening group libraries, activity groups, and home use.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
