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.
