Growing my own food – by gardening of all types – is my weakness. I have a black thumb instead of a green one. But knowing you have a weakness is the start of fixing it. I use this book to help be diagnose what I did that ended up killing my plants.
This year I used the Big Book of Gardening Skills to help with the spindly tomatoes and pepper seedlings that I started in the house. It helped me learn to fix it so I could grow them in the garden so I could start my own this year rather than go with seed.
