Last month I started this column titled “The Garden Book Nook”. I encourage you to think about what book(s) you would recommend to a fellow gardener. Write a couple of paragraphs about why you like the book and why you recommend it. Email the article to barbaralow@msn.com and I’ll include it in an upcoming Garden Beet “The Garden Book Nook”.
We’d love to learn what book you recommend!
I have two more books I want to recommend. For the past couple of years, I have been very interested in companion planting and all that it entails.
Carrots Love Tomatoes – Secrets of Companion Planting For Successful Gardening written by Louise Riotte. 1998.
I have found this to be a great resource book. It covers a wide range of plants and how they can be used in companion gardening.
Practical Guide to Garden Herbs – How to Identify, Choose and Grow Herbs, with an A-Z Directory and More Than 730 Photographs written by Jessica Houdret. 2011.
This is a very complete book on herbs, and includes great photographs of all the plants it covers. It gives you the scientific name as well as the common name. There is also a brief description of the herb and how to use it.
What book do you recommend?
