BREAKING NEWS!!! The Vegetable Garden Problem Solver Handbook has received the American Horticultural Society’s 2024 book award! This is such an honor and a wonderful surprise. Here is a link to their announcement.

As a longtime vegetable gardener, Susan Mulvihill understands how there are a lot of factors that can affect a gardener’s success. These include physiological disorders such as blossom-end rot, leaf roll, and fruit-cracking; weather-related challenges such as frosts, heat waves, and high winds; plant diseases; and animal pests (think deer, rabbits, squirrels, gophers, raccoons and so on) that cause a lot of damage. All of these challenges are covered in The Vegetable Garden Problem Solver Handbook in a way that is easy to understand and relevant for all levels of gardeners, from beginners to experienced gardeners.

Susan begins the book with her top tips for getting your plants off to the best start possible. From choosing the best site possible for your garden to spacing your plants appropriately, watering them properly and using organic methods, she shares what you need to know to be successful.

This is followed by indispensable information to help you troubleshoot challenging problems that can arise. Germination and pollination issues, herbicide damage, bug problems, and physiological disorders are all covered.

Chapter two dives into vegetable plant diseases. The “Vegetable Crops & Potential Diseases” chart will help readers match the damage they’re observing on their crops to the potential plant diseases that can cause this damage. Detailed plant disease profiles explain what exactly what you need to know about the most commonly-encountered bacterial, fungal and viral diseases that can occur on vegetable crops. Each profile provides you with organic methods, strategies and products for preventing or reducing instances of that disease in your garden.

Learn how to approach or prevent problems caused by all sorts of critters: birds, chipmunks, deer, gophers, groundhogs, mice, moles, opossums, porcupines, rabbits, raccoons, rats, skunks, tree squirrels and voles. Susan has plenty of strategies and methods for dealing with these animals that might be cute to watch, but not so cute in your vegetable garden!
