"My book is a collection of my top 100 crops to grow, with the last 20 crops being ones that I don't recommend for various reasons. Most of these crops can be grown anywhere in the world and some are better grown in warm or cold climates. I also detail other growing tips such as setting up and positioning a food garden, building your soil, my own self-sufficiency story, and ways to preserve your harvest. Areas and when to grow in specific locations or climates can be found on my Garden Planner." — Mark Valencia
