Great book with beautiful photos and lots of good advice. It is perfect for someone with a small space to garden (like a community garden plot, a raised bed or just containers on the deck). I love how there are recipes throughout the book, and the section on canning is awesome. I've been using this book for the last year as a guide for my garden, and I find myself pulling it out all the time to get a little advice on a particular vegetable or herb. Highly recommended. Great overview for container gardeners and/or those with limited space. 'Microfarming' sounds so cool I almost don't mind not having a lot of space. (almost.) I like this book better than her first book, this one is more specific about each type of plant. My favorite thing that I learned - you can create more basil plants with cuttings! You have to pinch them off anyway to get bushier plants, I thought that was super cool. I did it and I was so excited when they suddenly started growing stems in the water! Today I planted them, we'll see how they do. Apparently you can do it with a bunch of other herbs. Who knew??
Gayla Trail is an amazing and inspirational gardener. I like this book better than her first one.
