My mother, who is now 91 years old, gardened all her adult life. She bought Dick Raymond's "Joy of Gardening" when it was first published in the early 80's and recently recommended it to me. I purchased the Kindle version and refer to it almost daily. It not only is an excellent reference book, it is very enjoyable to just read.Dick Raymond provides directions on soil preparation, plant and variety selection, planting, fertilizing, etc. in a well organized fashion. There is a good index and is divided into chapter based on plant types. There are plenty of photographs that provide a visual aid in understanding some of his more complex instructions. He addresses pest control, crop rotation, harvesting, weed control and the use of cover crops. I know the material in his book is original mainly because I have never seen it anywhere else, such as "not fertilizing corn at the time it is planted". He recommends fertilizing the corn but at several intervals after it has germinated and has a good start in its growth cycle.If a person could only have one gardening book, this should be it. I highly recommend this to anyone that has either a casual or a serious interest in gardening. I plan to pass it on to my son. There will then be three generation of hobby gardeners in my family that will have used Dick Raymond's book.
This book is an excellent resource for home gardening. It is easy to follow and gave this novice gardener plenty of useful information for raising fruits/vegetables in my back yard.I have several other gardening books, with a variety of different views/techniques, but I favor this one over all the others.This man grew vegetables in a patch of dirt in a gravel driveway! I don't plan to follow that example but he convinced me that even I could grow stuff and I have been getting a good harvest of tomatoes, beans, lettuces, cabbage, onions, carrots, okra, eggplant, melons, strawberries, etc. for three years in my raised beds.This is a great book and the info you gain can be used on large or small gardens. How you use it is up to you.
I never gardened until I moved to Vermont a few years back. As a city slicker I was amazed a little seed in some dirt could amount to anything. I got a few gardening books to help me, but this one handed to me by my mother-in-law was the very best (I found the others, especially "Gardening for Dummies" a waste of money). Dick's book is filled with photos of just about any run-of-the-mill vegetable (such as the tomato) as well as the more exotic (like my favorite, the brussels sprout). With clear and easy to follow directions and photos, Dick guides you through the process of growing any vegetable successfully. My second season of gardening I had an incredible bounty of tomatoes as my fellow gardeners' tomatoes were hit by blight - I just followed Dick's suggestions for planting and mulching. With the help of this book, I became a somewhat comfortable organic vegetable gardener. I just bought it for a friend on the West Coast as a housewarming gift - he plans to plant his first garden ever, and as he spoke, I just knew this book would help him.The only caveats I would add are: 1) I did not find much success with his seed-scattering method. For some veggies, he suggests using a wide row and putting seeds in a salt shaker to scatter and over-sow, and then raking through to thin the young sprouts. I did find his wide-row method helpful for planting more in a smaller area, but I found I had to plot out where things would go. 2) This is a book for organic vegetable gardening. If you are interested in commercial pesticides or primarily in flower-gardening, this book is not for you.Good luck & happy planting!
As far as I'm concerned, this is the best and most comprehensive gardening book that I have ever seen. I grew up in the same era as the author did, gardened as he did and found the book highly readable and completely practical. It gives so much great information in a clear way that I don't think most people would find that it lacks anything they need to be a successful gardener. With today's high food prices, this is a terrific resource to grow your own food and save money. I love the fact that the advice the author gives will enable others to garden organically if they wish. In addition, the gardener gets great exercise. I think so much of this book that I gave a copy to each of our daughters-in-law. I highly recommend it!
After moving to the Texas Hill Country from Houston in 1982, we found we had a great abundance of one thing...... ROCK. The average top soil depth was 1 inch or less, but after a survey of our property we found a part of our land with good top soil depth. The gardening fever was upon us!As urban gardeners, we found it a bit different growing crops in the country! During our first season we had a painful wildlife feeding education. What the deer, coons, and squirrels didn't eat the bugs did. After the neighbors stopped laughing at us, we did build a high fence for the next season.To begin our second season our lightweight "city tiller" died. We bought a Troy Built tiller. Along with this new tiller came an advertisement for "The Joy of Garding" book by Dick Raymond. Our gardening life dramatically changed.After reading the book we knew exactly what to do instead of guessing. Our friends and neighbors now come to us for advice. The best advice we can give them is a copy of Dick Raymond's book.P.S. After 28 years I still use the original book and tiller.
