Vegetable Gardening
Gardening is easy: discover how you can grow a perfect vegetable garden, and enjoy fresh, organic food every day. You don't have a green thumb. You've never managed to keep a houseplant alive for more than two weeks. You don't have enough gardening space. If you've used any of these as a reason not to grow your own vegetable garden, you've been missing out. Here's the thing: ➢ Green thumb is a myth. The idea that some people are born with an innate ability to tend plants is absurd -- and totally fake.➢ Gardening doesn't take up that much space. You can grow a huge variety of vegetables on your balcony, or in a small patch of dirt in your backyard.➢ As for the unfortunate houseplant massacre... Well, the plants didn't die because you're a natural plant slayer. You simply didn't know what it takes to keep them alive. You'll often hear experienced gardeners talking about intuitive gardening, and how you need to have a natural affinity towards growing plants to have a great garden. Nope, not true. Successful gardening comes down to careful planning, intelligent planting choices, and simple maintenance. Gardening is a skill, and skills can be developed. All it takes is a bit of enthusiasm and a passion for the outdoors... and a beginner-friendly gardening manual, of course. What makes this particular guide different from all others is a single assumption: this book assumes you don't know anything about gardening. It will teach you everything. From basic soil preparation to maintenance, composting, and climate zoning, you'll learn everything you need to start growing organic, healthy food -- no matter what size space you're working with. So don't stress about your lack of experience or previous gardening fails. Everyone has to start somewhere, and now you have the perfect opportunity to do so. In Vegetable Gardening, you will discover: ● Techniques for choosing the right place for your garden based on your climate zone, water access and sun-shade ratio● Tips on how to decide on the size of your garden, including smart solutions for making the most of a small gardening space (with a list of high-yield plants that don't take up much space)● A comprehensive guide on gardening soil: discover how to determine which type of soil you have, how to prep it for planting, and which plants grow best in a particular soil type● Precise instructions for choosing which plants to grow in your garden (including mini-guides on growing season and starting seeds indoors)● Tips on how to lay out your garden - discover which vegetables love to be neighbors, and which to keep far from one another to ensure the best growth (and a rich harvest!)● Expert maintenance strategies for keeping your garden clean, healthy and pest-free● Harvesting tips and tricks, including a guide on how to prepare your garden for the next season And much more. Even if you're not a complete beginner, you'll want to take a peek inside this guide: you'll discover some innovative gardening techniques... and you might finally find out why some of your plants refuse to cooperate, no matter how much care and time you give them.
The Secret Techniques of Bonsai
Before we delve into the world of Bonsai, I would like to thank you for selecting the book "The Secret Techniques of Bonsai: The Complete Step By Step Guide for Beginners." I hope you find it resourceful and that it helps you truly understand the art of Bonsai.Have you ever seen a Bonsai tree? Has the beauty of it made you feel like you wanted to grow one yourself?

You need to learn about how to grow and care for a Bonsai tree properly. There are many tree types that are more ideal for Bonsai compared to others. If you want to learn about all of these things and more, this book is the right place to begin. It will guide you from learning the basics of Bonsai to the more intricate details involved over time. Thank you once again for choosing this book, I hope you find it useful. Contrary to what you may know, a Bonsai is not just one particular tree. Any tree that can be grown in a miniature model of its original size can be a Bonsai. A Bonsai tree can be of miniature size, but it can still look just as old as the original life-sized one. So you have to understand that Bonsai is not a particular variety of trees but an age-old technique with which trees are grown. If you try to buy a Bonsai tree on the market, you will see that the price depends on the age of the tree. The maturity of a Bonsai tree will add to its value. If you want to grow a Bonsai yourself, there are different types of trees that you can select from and then practice the art of Bonsai to help in its growth. Bonsai are basically trees in pots or containers. It requires a lot of patience to plant and grow these trees in containers. The foliage of the tree will have to be trained in order to get the kind of Bonsai shape you want. The roots have to be pruned for the miniature version, and the branches will need wiring. There are many different techniques that you will learn about using this book, and all of these will help you successfully grow and maintain a Bonsai tree. You have to realize that just putting a plant in a pot will not make it Bonsai.Thank you once again for choosing this book, I hope you find it useful.
Notes from the Garden
I know from my own experience that an evening spent tending my garden, after another incomprehensible day, brings a strength and calmness that no other activity can match. Is it the qualities associated with gardening, such as nurturing and the hard work of hands and heart, that are deficient in our culture? Much good writing has been done about the garden as a special place.Madeleine Wilde's woodland garden on the south slope of Seattle's Queen Anne Hill was more than a "special place." It was her Sanctuary, her prism through which she explored the world and accomplished "much good writing."For two decades, starting in the early 1990s, Madeleine's "Notes from the Garden" delighted readers of the Queen Anne & Magnolia News in Seattle. Here, in luminous prose, is the best of her work from those years, ranging from hands-on advice for gardeners and would-be gardeners to poetically charged, often wry, insights into life in the tradition of Thoreau.Madeleine, who died in 2018, has left us a book to savor from solstice to solstice. This is a book that gardeners and lovers of cooking, food and life well-lived will savor. It will also inspire fans of the personal essay and those interested in the cycle of the seasons and intentional living. The book is edited by her former publisher, Mike Dillon, illustrated with charming drawings by noted American architect and author Mark Hinshaw, and a foreword by Madeleine's husband David Streatfield, professor emeritus in the department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Washington.

The Science and Romance of Selected Herbs Used in Medicine and Religious Ceremony
The author has accomplished a feat worthy of the greatest botanist's life's work. He has painstakingly labored to scientifically and correctly classify some of the world's plants which are held in highest esteem, either for their medicinal value or for their religious and spiritual significance. In so doing, he has managed to demonstrate that legend and lore, as well as medicinal practices and herbal usage of traditional doctors, can be scientifically supported. Traditional medicine on all continents and from all cultures seem to have a common beginning. Perhaps this knowledge of the healing wonders of the plant world is available to all persons through some source which we do not as yet understand. Dr. Andoh has been pursuing the task of collecting data for this book for some eleven years and his meticulous work will, surely, be greatly appreciated by anyone interested in plants and especially students of ethnobotany. He deserves our gratitude for his perseverance and achievement. This book is special in that it gives scientific data in an interesting, entertaining and intriguing manner. It opens the door for other scientists to take a more open-minded and investigative look at the healing practices of traditional cultures. Further investigation must come soon, so as to preserve this ancient knowledge -- before it has been swept away and discarded, along with the trees and forests, by the new technology.

How to Have a Green Thumb Without an Aching Back
Garden expert and lovable eccentric Ruth Stout once said: "At the age of 87 I grow vegetables for two people the year-round, doing all the work myself and freezing the surplus.

She reports, "A dentist in Pennsylvania and a doctor in Oregon have both written me that they keep a copy of my garden book in their waiting rooms. Or try to; the dentist has had twenty-three copies stolen, the doctor, sixteen."This is the book that began it all...from her choice of Poverty Hollow, to being "gifted" topsoil from the road construction, to a complete description of hints, successes, failures, and everything that goes into having a Green Thumb without an Aching Back!

Kentucky Heirloom Seeds
Saving seeds to plant for next year's crop has been key to survival around the globe for millennia. However, the twentieth century witnessed a grand takeover of seed producers by multinational companies aiming to select varieties ideal for mechanical harvest, long-distance transportation, and long shelf life. With the rise of the Slow Food and farm-to-table movements in recent years, the farmers and home gardeners who have been quietly persisting in the age-old habit of conserving heirloom plants are finally receiving credit for their vital role in preserving both good taste and the world's rich food heritage. Kentucky Heirloom Seeds: Growing, Eating, Saving is an evocative exploration of the seed saver's art and the practice of sustainable agriculture. Bill Best and Dobree Adams begin by tracing the roots of the tradition in the state to a 700-year-old Native American farming village in north central Kentucky. Although Best shares tips for planting and growing beans and describes his family's favorite varieties for the table, the heart of the book are the incredible interviews with seed savers, predominately from Eastern Kentucky and from generations of gardeners who saved seeds to feed their families. These people have worked tirelessly to preserve and share heirloom varieties. This book vividly documents the social relevance and historical significance of the rituals of sowing, cultivating, eating, saving, and sharing.
