Basic Book of Organic Gardening (Paperback) by Robert Rodale

Loved this book. I'm in a gardening slump and this really inspires me to get my bum back out there.

The best gardening ideas I know by Robert Rodale

Begins with soil testing,and soil building, then builds the vegetable garden from seed starting, planting successions and companions, battling bugs, and then harvesting and stocking the cold cellar. Lovely.
