Now in paperback, the creator of Gardenary teaches you to eat what you sow in this beginner's guide to creating an edible garden from scratch.
Have you woefully bought overpriced and wilted basil from a refrigerator shelf? Do you imagine a patch of life and color warming your empty kitchen windowsill? Have you tried gardening a time or two before, with only a well-watered swath of dirt to show for it months later?
Nicole Johnsey Burke, author of Kitchen Garden Revival and founder of Gardenary, Inc., and Rooted Garden, Inc., offers a straightforward and easy-to-follow gardening system that is built for attainable success. Nicole guides beginning gardeners through the fundamentals of garden setup and design, plant selection, and the mechanics for plant growth, in a gradual stepladder of three categories of plants:
- Leaves, including sprouts, herbs, and leafy greens
- Roots, such as bulbs, tubers, and rhizomes
- Fruits and seeds
By making gardening a step-by-step process where you build your skills and understanding of plants as you go, Nicole makes a potentially overwhelming process as simple as planting that first seed.
