McMillen's Texas Gardening, Square Foot Gardening

As I got more and more into planting vegetables in the patio garden, I started looking for books that provide information on difference gardening techniques.

I found the book 'McMillen's Texas Gardening: Vegetables: features, tips, plans and ideas exclusively for Texas gardeners and gardening lovers' by Sam Cotner at a Half Priced Bookstore by accident. Once I picked it up and read the first few pages, I knew that I had to buy it. It is one of those no-nonsense, easy to understand gardening books with sufficient useful information. Best part is that it provides relevant information for Texan gardeners.

The book 'Square Foot Gardening: a new way to garden in less space with less work' by Mel Bartholomew helped me to reduce the amount of tedious work associated with gardening tremendously. I don't have to worry about over-planting and under-watering vegetables. So far the square foot gardening technique is my favorite gardening method.
