"For vegetable gardening in the Bay Area, Golden Gate Gardening is indispensable-if you buy one gardening book, this is the one."
--Michael Pollan


Fully revised and updated, this is the fourth edition of the ultimate food gardening bible for Central and Northern Californians. The gardening guide is especially useful for those new to Northern California with its information about year-round planting opportunities. It has become a perennial seller, loved by both new and experienced gardeners for its friendly, practical advice on how to grow fresh produce all year. Expert author Pam Peirce tells how to use the unique local conditions of climate, soil, and rainfall to grow both common and unusual vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, cut flowers, and fruit from trees and shrubs including berries, citrus and avocados for your kitchen garden. This encyclopedic guide covers all the bases, including what to plant in every season, how to select varieties, assess a microclimate, organize a garden, manage pests and weeds safely and effectively, attract beneficial creatures, conserve water, improve soil, make compost, harvest wisely, and garden in containers. It includes delicious, seasonal garden-to-table recipes and an essay on learning to eat from a garden. Charts, sidebars, illustrations, maps, resource lists, and many cross references make it easy for readers to find the information they need. This vegetable gardening book will especially help readers in the San Francisco Bay Area and in California coastal areas from Humboldt County south to San Luis Obispo, as well as those in nearby mild-winter inland climates (including Alameda, San Mateo, Marin, Santa Clara, Monterey, and Santa Cruz counties).
This fourth edition includes updates that address:
  • Climate change as it affects gardeners
  • New crop varieties and where to obtain them
  • Changes in pesticides and other products available
  • Recent changes in plant nomenclature
