From Seed to Sow, but What Next?, 8 April 2000
By DCPayne "tlbva" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gardening from Seed (Martha Stewart Magazine) (Paperback)
The latest installment of the Martha Stewart book collection is, of course, filled with extravagant, glossy pictures, tips from insiders, and suggested retailers from whom to buy certain products which, presumably, Martha uses herself. However, this tiny book leaves something to be desired. First, several terms are introduced in the meat of the book that are never defined in the glossary or elsewhere (e.g. "deadheading"). Second, the instructions stop at the outdoor-planting phase, thus failing to inform readers on how best to prune plants and how to harvest seeds directly from plants for future use. Third, there are a number of typographical errors not usually associated with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. While the plant index toward the back of the guide is useful, as is the section on tips for eradicating garden pests, your best bet is to purchase a more thorough (and, yes, more expensive) book from Burpee or Better Homes and Gardens if you want an in-depth and all-inclusive guide to the world of gardening from seed.

Not too bad. Good for beginner as a general overview but not enough information I was expecting to find.

Not a great investment, 14 Sep 2007
By Pam D. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gardening from Seed (Martha Stewart Magazine) (Paperback)
Book does not have a lot of solid information a gardener can use. Lots of beautiful photos but not enough tips to succeed on creating a garden from seed.
