If you can find it - 'America's Garden Book' by the Bush-Browns. It covers
everything. Has been revised and rewritten since the Bush-Browns are long
gone. they were my teachers in college - great couple.

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.
