GROW GREAT VEGETABLES IN TENNESSEE BY IRA WALLACE is one of the most informative books I have read to date! We just relocated to Tennessee and are huge fans of growing our own crops. This book is location specific to the state of Tennessee. It gives you the planting zones,the times when to plant, what veggies and fruits are good to grow in the state. It also covers all aspects of gardening , from container gardens to large scale gardens. The recommendations of the author also includes tips on soil testing,types of soil , watering tips and composting. I would give this book a ten star if I could. The knowledge and the straight talk of the author makes this a necessary for any and all gardners in the state of Tennessee.
