Dig In!: 12 Easy Gardening Projects Using Kitchen… by Kari Cornell

Thorough but not overwhelming, this book contains an introduction, four chapters, and back matter (glossary, gardening resources, where to find supplies, index). Each chapter has a few projects/ideas, as well as a couple of recipes (e.g. lemonade, crunchy pumpkin seeds, tropical smoothie, potato leek soup, sweet potato oven fries) that can be made with the plant/food in question. There are plenty of photographs and clear, step-by-step instructions with illustrations. There are also a lot of great general garden tips about saving seeds and transplanting seedlings. Overall a great resource!… (more)
