Excellent Resource for All Gardening Enthusiast

           
            As a gardening enthusiast for more than thirty five years, I can appreciate all that one must know to produce prolific outcomes.  My passion was embred early on after accidently cutting off my favorite grandpa's prize roses.  Part of my punishment was learning all the work it took to keep his collection going.  As a young mother interested in giving her children the very best food choices; I immediately began growing my own vegetables.  Oh how I wish I had the knowledge that is available in Karen Newcombs book "The Postage Stamp Vegetable Garden" which leans towards growing in tiny spaces and containers but offers so much more pertinent information for all growers.  The author emphasizes on organic gardening and there is a whole chapter dedicated to the different types of vegetables, many of which I didn't know of.  She covers everything from preparing the proper soil, when and how to plant and there is a special chapter which I really appreciated on controlling pests, diseases and critters.  This latter information is key to whether your garden will survive or not.  This is an excellent resource for all gardeners and would make for an awesome gift.  To learn more about Karen Newcomb .   I was given the wonderful opportunity of reviewing this book for Blogging for Books.  

A Must Have Book for Every Sincere Gardener

  Josie Jeffery has accomplished the near impossible by listing virtually everything a gardener must know to keep critters and pests away from growing plants; how to prevent plant disease and even improve your growing crops flavor all the organic way.  This healthy, stellar approve to gardening is written an easy, understandable words.  She even gives the grower tips on increasing your harvest and flowers.  As a 35 year planter, I only wish I knew half of the information she shares when I had multiple problems.  We were taught the wrong way, to buy sprays and foams to deter insects and small animals which could be harmful in the long-run to humans.  I insist that gardener's read this manual.  She has every subject covered when it comes to growing and you will learn something new. I  had the golden opportunity to read this book from "Blogging for Books" in exchange for my thoughts. For more information on the author and her book click here.
