Fantastic -- BUT DON'T BUY IT!
$90 for new copies of this? Don't bother. It's been released again in 2010 under a slightly different title for around $20. Buy that one. Do a search for:
Golden Gate Gardening: The Complete Guide to Year-Round Food Gardening in the San Francisco Bay Area and Coastal California
by Pam Peirce
(Note the spelling of the name.)
Otherwise, FANTASTIC BOOK. You'll love it. Even with details like the soil in San Francisco being full of lead from all the paint over the years on the Victorians and so on, so recommending new soil or raised beds with new soil (raised beds are always a plus for growing food anyway since they heat up better than the ground and produce more stellar results, sometimes quicker and sometimes for a longer period of time).
Fantastic resource!
San Francisco has many microclimates and differing growing seasons because of our unique geography. This book clearly explains how to plan and plant gardens to maximize the altered growing seasons. It also details neighborhood by neighborhood, which plants will likely grow given the soil (we live near the beach with sandy soil) and weather conditions. An invaluable, smart resource!
GGG - Excellent
Excellent resource. Bought two copies - one for me and one for my dad.
