If your vegetable garden is your pride and joy, you may want to take a look at Jack Staub’s book, 75 Exciting Vegetables for Your Garden. This book is worth buying just for the lovely watercolor illustrations, which are done by Ellen Buchert. However, the information about each plant is just as well done. Each of the 75 plants has it’s own section. It begins with a quote about the plant or a short historical tidbit and goes on to give a history of the plant’s origins. Growing instructions and cooking information finish off each section.

Staub has written about each plant in such an easy to read and interesting manner that I enjoyed reading about even those vegetables that I don’t plan to grow and I now have a rather alarmingly large list of new plants to try in next year’s garden. In fact, the lovely illustrations have inspired me to add a few of these vegetables to my plans for next year’s flower borders, as well.

75 Exciting Vegetables for Your Garden is sure to please even the most jaded vegetable grower. This book is so nicely done that it makes an ideal gift for plant lovers, expecially when it is tucked into a basket with a few vegetable seed packets and a good pair of gardening gloves. I give this lovely little book five out of five sunflowers.
