More Gardening Books

Since we're still working on the drainage in our yard, it means that I still have time to read more about vegetable gardening before our mini farm is ready to go.  The Gourmet Garden by Virginia Hayes has a few pages about growing mushrooms which is the only one so far I've found and is interesting to learn about it.
 Okay, this one doesn't have the most appealing cover but it is a pretty nice book, The Kitchen Garden by Alan Buckingham.  
 What's nice is that it covers a year round planner like what to grow and what to prepare.  The plant family section has all the details from the characteristics of common crops, growing and harvesting tips to my main concern, pest issue from different plants.  It also covers a brief explanation and solutions to common plant diseases. 
Happy Gardening!  =)
