The First-Time Gardener: Growing Vegetables: All the Know-How and Encouragement You Need to Grow - And Fall in Love With! - Your Brand New Food Garden by Jessica Sowards
5.0
This is such an informative and helpful book for first time gardeners. I love Jessica and her enthusiasm for the garden. Her garden tours are what dreams are made of and make me jealous of her space. I found her channel last year when we bought a house and I was looking for information on putting a small garden in our backyard. Little did I know the rabbit hole I would fall into after binging on her garden tours.
Anyway, back to the book. It's a really lovely book with great information for beginners. The section I found most useful included the section on pest control, as well as the planting time guidelines. But what I love most is that her positive attitude to encourage you to try comes through in this book. I can almost hear her voice reciting the wisdom and encouragements as I read the book.
I will keep dreaming of the day I will have an amazing space for a large garden that I can grow full of food and flowers, but until then I will flip through this book and keep watching her youtube channel.
The only negative information is that if you are looking for super in depth information on any one topic, this book won't be for you. Instead, it covers a wide range of topics from soil preparation, to seed starting, to transplanting and harvesting for a lot of variety of vegetables and seeds. It's a great book for a beginner gardener just starting out.
