What Is the Best Reference Book on Growing Vegetables?
I want a book that will tell me exactly how to germinate seeds from specific plants, not just general guidelines. Does anyone know a few titles? I’ve been looking on amazon, but I couldn’t browse to the pages about the specific veggies or fruits, so I could never tell which details were covered.

The Royal Horticultural Society’s Essential Gardening Techniques is quite a good step by step guide and covers most topics. There are some specific guides to the more common fruits and veggies in there that are quite useful. And a whole section devoted to germinating seeds.
The Vegetable Expert by Dr D.G Hessayon is also quite nice its well laid out with good information and lots of pictures and is easy to follow.
Our Blog will soon be featuring How Too Guides and there will Be free Downloadable Products for you to print and keep on the most popular veggies.
