Best-selling gardening author Barbara Pleasant makes organic vegetable gardening easy, fun, and rewarding with detailed planting and care designs for 24 beginner-friendly gardens to fit any site, whether it's a tiny side yard, a border, a trellis alongside the house, or a front yard. From exactly what plants (and how many) to buy, where and when to plant them, and how to care for each vegetable throughout the season, Pleasant encourages readers to start small, grow the food they love, and expand their plant selection as their skills develop. Specially tailored plans offer choices to fit a wide range of sites and food preferences, from the Front-Yard Food Supply to the Marinara Medley, Sweet Corn & Company, and High-Value Verticals.There's a plan and plant selection to fit every gardener's passion. Detailed plot plans show progressive stages for how each garden can be expanded gradually over the course of three years, ensuring that beginning gardeners will experience success and satisfaction without being overwhelmed by an over-ambitious plan at the start.
Now that you've mastered gardening basics, you want to enjoy your bounty year-round, right? Homegrown Pantry picks up where beginning gardening books leave off, with in-depth profiles of the 55 most popular crops including beans, beets, squash, tomatoes, and much more -- to keep your pantry stocked throughout the year. In-depth profiles highlight how many plants to grow of each crop for a year's worth of eating, and which storage methods work best for specific varieties. Author Barbara Pleasant culls tips from decades of her own gardening experience and from growers across North America to offer planting, care, and harvesting refreshers for every region and each vegetable.
Barbara Pleasant and Deborah L. Martin turn the compost bin upside
down with their liberating system of keeping compost heaps right in
the garden, rather than in some dark corner behind the garage. The
compost and the plants live together from the beginning in a
nourishing, organic environment. The authors' bountiful,
compost-rich gardens require less digging, weeding, mulching, and
even less planting. And here's one of the best parts -- no more
backbreaking slogs from compost bin to garden. The authors even
identify the plants that benefit most from compost and how the
elements of a composted garden work together.
