I need some good book recommendations for both vegetable gardening and
general landscape style gardening. I live in Western MA and would love to
start gardening, but am kind of can't figure out where to even start. My
biggest area of concern right now, is the front of my house, which has NO
landscaping and receives very little sunlight.

Thanks

'The Manual of Woody Landscape Plants' by M. Dirr is the text for
almost all colleges and universities in the nation. Dirr is from Ma.
He also has a color illustrated book that goes with the manual.
