This funny book chronicles the author's own dreams and resulting mega garden, complete with Superchuck (an unkillable groundhog), multiple pests, weeds, and the realization that "organic" isn't as easy as one might think. I loved that in the end, he had to come to terms with not only what to do with all of his produce, but with what the dream was costing him. I'd actually give it a 3.5 if I could. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1286121?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
