How do I cope with winter-spring-winter-summer-winter-spring weather?

Which of these things sprouting are my vegetables and which ones are weeds?

What do I do about this awful clay soil?

These are just a few of the questions addressed in Growing Great Vegetables in the Heartland. Comprising over one-fifth of the U.S. -- South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky -- the Heartland may share horticultural zones with many other areas, but its soils and erratic weather make gardening there a singularly challenging experience. Dispensing hard-won advice from years of firsthand experience and promoting a practical, organic approach, this invaluable guide offers essential information to beginners and veteran gardeners of the Great Plains.

Andrea Ray Chandler explains with clear instructions, down-to-earth examples, and colorful anecdotes the fundamentals of:
-- soil regeneration and compost making
-- weather problems (and how to cope with them!)
-- cool-weather crops and succession planning
-- warm-weather crops and crop rotation
-- tool selection, skywatching, seed-saving, budget tips, and online information

Growing Great Vegetables in the Heartland also imparts valuable tips on row cover comparisons, unusual and perennial vegetables, recipes for vegetable haters, gardener's health issues, gardening myths, and more.
