The clever gardener . . . could make this book work anywhere."--<b><i>Booklist</i></b> <p/> "So many gardening books feature plants' mile-long Latin names and confusing charts. Not this one. Its easy-to-follow instructions, diagrams, and photos inspire desire to grow good-for-the-body fresh produce from little yard space. A bonus: some delicious serving suggestions. <i>One Magic Square</i> tells you everything you need to get started and profiles each plant." -<b><i>The Virginian-Pilot</i></b><br>
