    4.0 out of 5 stars the same book as "75 Exciting Vegetables for Your Garden"
    Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2015
    I just wanted to point out that this seems to be the same exact book as "75 Exciting Vegetables for Your Garden" by Jack Staub. Comparing the previews here on Amazon I can't detect any difference between them. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
