.NeoGreen's recent post of a British Guide to vegetable growing got me to thinking about similar guides for parts of North America that don't have a British-type climate (i.e., most of it).

On the West Coast we have the venerable Sunset Western Garden Book, which takes into account the wide variety of microclimates we have in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as other parts of the West (I'm at the edge of the summer marine layer belt - it usually burns off by noon, but we had no sun at all Thursday and Friday. Go a couple of miles to the south and it's sunny all day). What do other areas have for their gardening bibles?
