Review #1

Expensive Advice

Other reviewers have commented that there is not enough information in this book to adequately prepare yourself for gardening from seed. I agree, and would like to add that Martha Stewart's advice advocates buying materials that you don't necessarily need. I do appreciate that she lists the pros and cons for different types of seedling containers, but she doesn't mention in that chapter that you can start seeds in recycled materials, like yogurt containers, cut-off milk containers, or egg cartons (for smaller seedlings).

If you're looking for a more thorough book, see my review for Fresh Food from Small Spaces by R.J. Ruppenthal.




Review #2

Not a great investment

Book does not have a lot of solid information a gardener can use. Lots of beautiful photos but not enough tips to succeed on creating a garden from seed.




Review #3

Gardening From Seed The Keys to Success With Flowers and Veg

Not too bad. Good for beginner as a general overview but not enough information I was expecting to find.
