Great Gardening Books?

LindyAdele · April 7, 2015

Just off the bat, I own Epic Tomatoes (it is excellent and have bought copies for friends!), I always buy Heirloom Gardener magazine, and sometimes Fine Gardening magazines, when they have something interesting out.

I would really like to know if there are any good widely recommended general vegetable gardening books out there? I'm looking for something that goes through all vegetables - even the weird ones - how to grow them best, what they need to thrive, and then how to use them! Does something like that exist?

Most of what I could find in amazon searches were very specific to regions, or types of plants or uses. I love books, I will read and re-read them forever.

So - what have you enjoyed?
