A book designed to help vegetable growers to manage their gardening project. From mapping out the layout, deciding what to grow and where, and the actual growing process right from seed planting through to harvesting and preserving.
A gardener has to keep track of a lot of information. Mostly, we do it in our heads, believing we will be able to recall everything that we did in previous years. Unfortunately that isn’t the case. This 300 page handbook provides a comprehensive resource to keep track of everything we might need for this year and subsequent years.
With comprehensive sections, encompassing all the activities in the garden, and ample space to record what went on, the Handbook builds to a comprehensive resource that will take all the hard work out of future seasons.
The book has over 300 pages enclosed in a durable hard back cover to ensure that it remains serviceable throughout the whole year. The book is evergreen in that it can be started in any month of the year, so…. Whenever your garden project begins!
This handbook will get you organised, even if you have little gardening experience.
It will encourage you to learn about best practice and write down important information about the vegetables and plants you want to grow, and of course learn from what happened the previous year(s).
When you buy the book you are Connected (online Discord server) to a community of “Growers” who are all sharing their experiences and supporting each other in fulfilling their garden goals.
This Handbook was born from the experience of not having one. But during the 3rd year of building a very successful food growing garden, we began to note all the information we thought we might need onto scraps of paper.
The book arrived at harvest time (another kind of harvest), just in time to record all the vegetable weights and quantities directly into the book.
During the winter we will be using the book to plan a new layout and reorganising some vegetables, plus recording the growing characteristics of plants we haven’t grown before, and working out which seeds we will need for the coming season.
