Question by TiredBird: How do I start a garden? Any good books on the subject?

I just bought a house with a terrible back yard and want to rip out some grass (moss, really) and put in a garden. All the books I have seen assume I have a palacial estate and unlimited funds. Anyone know a planning book that deals with reality and not fantasy? I want to start a garden and maybe do some simple landscaping. I am in the Northwest. Thanks!

Of course there are books on gardening appropriate to every situation. Go to your public library, not the bookstore.
