Very enjoyable! Kind of like Bill Bryson in a garden.

I'm not the least bit interesting in gardening so it's odd that I would read this book but the title just struck me funny so I picked it up at the library and read it in just a couple of days.

It's well written, funny, and it kind of makes me want to plant some tomatos next summer!

Somewhere around 3.5 stars. It wasn't great but it has funny moments and the writing kept me engaged which is why I gave it 4 stars.

Of course I had to read this. It sounded like the story of my life. This book was so humorous and relatable. I wanted so bad to give it a 5-star, but right smack in the middle of the book, he went off on a historical tangent on how the tomato and potato got to where they are today...4-5 eye-glazing pages long, beginning in the 1500's to present day. Otherwise, very engaging!

I did like this book but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Don't you hate it when that happens? This year is my first year with a real vegetable garden and it's much harder than I thought it would be. This book basically cemented the belief that it will always just be much harder than I thought. LOL.

Anyway, a good book to give you a peek into the obsessive compulsive nature of growing your own food. It also gave me a bit of insight into what was wrong with my apple tree. Turns out, it's cedar rust. Thank you!… (plus d'informations)
