The Vegetable Gardener's Book of Building Projects, by Cindy A Littlefield, 151 pages

I've been doing a bit of wood-working lately, and I'm anxiously looking forward to planting my veggie garden, so this was the perfect book to read on a slow weekend.  All of the projects in this book are pretty straightforward, easy enough to do with basic tools (the most complex tool required is a jigsaw), and all are pretty practical projects.  Very easy for a non-handy-type to read (after all, I read it).  There are some neat compost containers, raised beds and cold frames that I am contemplating.
