About the Author
Most gardeners are grateful that internationally known garden expert Dick Raymond has compiled the vast knowledge shared in his popular Garden Way television program, Joy of Gardening, into book form. He's also written Down-to-Earth Gardening Know-How for the 90's, among other books. Dick was head vegetable gardening specialist at Garden Way Gardens in Vermont for 15 years where the Joy of Gardening television series was filmed. He also gardened and cared for plots in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and on the West Coast for Garden Way. Over 40 years of hands-on experience have made Dick a very respected gardener and teacher.

My friend had this book and I thought it would be a good idea to get it. I'm really enjoying this book and think he has alot of good ideas. Even though it was written several years ago all the information is pertinent to now.

I have been gardening for over 15 years. I started with this method and love it. If you have to buy a book and/or have limited garden space this is the book to buy.

This review is from: Joy of Gardening (Paperback)
This is "IT"! This is the book that I have finally been able to get all the info I've been looking for. My Dad was a gardener and, unfortunately, I wasn't a real attentive student in my teens. I got "bit" by the gardening bug last year and my Dad passed down this book to me and it was *invaluable* to my very successful first vegetable garden. I found out that as I was reading that a lot of what my Dad had done and said came from this book. Dick Raymond talks "to" the reader in plain language and manages to explain everything so that it is easily understood and covers everything: planning, compost, soil, planting seeds, transplants, fertilizing, growing, harvesting and storing. He freely shares hints and tips that I'm sure only comes from decades of gardening. This book inspired me to try things I wasn't sure I could and my garden was a huge success. I refer to this book often throughout the year and it helps me plan and understand gardening more with each reading. The info is not out of date and is as applicable now more than ever. If you buy any book - this is the one that you will return to over and over again.
