“Humorous, but not funny. Well written, but not gripping. Interesting, but not fascinating.
Not a great book, but a good book.”

The premise...an amatuer gardener trying to grow his own produce...strikes a chord with me, though I am nowhere near his garden scale or obsession. It is funny to see struggles I have had played out in another's garden. He is easy to identify with and his humorous writing draws the reader into companionship. His chapters are well organized and because of that he is able to jump chronologically and yet not lose his reader. A good read!”
