Vegetable Gardening From the Ground Up by Stephanie Suesan Smith Genre: How-To, DIY Gardening

  

MY REVIEW

💚💚💚💚💚 This is the best DIY book ever, in any subject. There is no time wasted in mundane stories, but a little background to feel like in the groove such as mentioning the WWII Victory Gardens. It covers in a direct non-nonsense way EVERYTHING. How to choose where to plant from discerning the proximity of your water source to sunlight exposure.

This was clearly written by someone who loves gardening and knows the subject. In this crazy new era where self-proclaimed experts abound it was really nice to read or see explanations that make sense and are easy to understand. 

The Images as well as the writing are clear and useful. A well-deserved 5 star and I cannot wait to be ready to plant my own veggies!

Her father taught her to grow things to eat, and that is her specialty. She is a member of the Texas Master Gardeners Association and the Dallas County Master Gardener Association. She was awarded 2014 Master Gardner of the Year for Hunt County, Texas. Things of beauty are also important, so she grows African violets, is a member of the African Violet Society of America, and is a member of the Alpha African Violet Society of Dallas.

Stephanie was first published by a national magazine in 1990 and has since been published in several periodicals. Gardening articles have appeared in Animal Wellness, 903 Magazine, and the Greenville Herald Banner, among numerous other places. Articles and technical papers in psychology make up the balance of her periodical publications.

Stephanie received a B.S. in psychology from Texas Christian University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in psychology from Texas A&M University. Currently, she resides in Dallas with her toy poodle, Jewel.
