Nicely written book with personal reminiscences of growing vegetables in Vermont over the last 30 years. Fantastic illustrations by Bobbi Angell. The book is arranged plant by plant, and includes both good growing advice, some recipes, and history and anecdotes. It is not a 'how-to' manual on how to grow plants, more a memoir on the pleasures of growing and eating your own garden-produced food.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. Read my more extensive review here: http://www.coldclimategardening.com/2005/02/28/review-of-a-year-at-north-hill/
