I've often found gardening books to be somewhat frustrating because you have to translate the advice in them to what fits your particular growing region. This book does that for you by making suggestions specifically for vegetable gardening in Wisconsin. We got it last year and found it incredibly helpful - it's broken down by plant and the dates were extremely helpful as we timed spring, summer, and fall plantings. If I could only have ONE vegetable gardening book, this one would be it!
this book is decent. The map at the beginning is a black and white copy of a color map for climate/planting times for wisconsin which makes it impossible to use as the grey tones simply do not match the key. The information is good though, but this is general advice and not for the organic gardener as all suggestions revolve around chemical fertilizers. That said, there was a few hints here that make it a worthwhile purchase if you can get it used.
Wisconsin gardeners are long accustomed to growing vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, and berries in their garden plots. Those new to gardening in the Badger state now have available to them an invaluable instruction manual as to which food plants grow best in Wisconsin soils and under what conditions. "Guide To Wisconsin Vegetable Gardening" by gardening expert James A. Fizzell offers informed and informative advice and commentary on planning, selecting, and planting edible plants that are especially suited for Wisconsin's climate. Enhanced with helpful charts on the number of days required from planting to harvest for each item discussed and recommended, "Guide To Wisconsin Vegetable Gardening" clearly indicates when each edible plant should be planted, where it should be planting, and planting tips to insure the best possible harvest. Ideal for the novice Wisconsin gardener and an especially recommended addition to all personal, professional, as well as Wisconsin community library gardening reference collections, "Guide To Wisconsin Vegetable Gardening" also has enduring value as a reference for even the more experienced Badger State gardener from Janesville in the south to Hudson in the north.
