Garden Wisdom: Lessons Learned from 60 Years of Gardening

I so much enjoyed reading this book, it reminded me of gardening with my parents when I was growing up and brought back numerous fond memories. The book is full of old fashioned and common sense gardening and I learned much to improve my own garden. There are recipes scattered in the latter part of the book and every single one sounds amazing - am looking forward to trying at least some of them this coming season.

I preordered this book because I wanted to make sure I got to read it before spring. It's filled with great information for those of us who haven't garden before or maybe failed in the past. He gives specific information about the varieties of vegetables he plants, how he plants, how big his garden is and the space necessary for different kinds of plants. He also shares the mistakes he's made over the years. I enjoyed reading about the animals eating off his garden and how he solved this issue. I have already ordered my seeds and my cabot strawberry plants. I'm hoping my garden turns out this year, especially the strawberry plants. Last year I got one strawberry off my plant all year. When I went to eat it, a wasp had beaten me to the punch.

I'm not done yet but it has old and new ideas.

I have to tell you that one of my cousins showed up at a family meeting with the cookies. Oh, my goodness! They even beat my mom's ginger snaps! We have been making hers for years and sharing them with everyone... but now am worried that the sorghum cookie recipe will turn into the favorite!Love the descriptions of gardening and I use them for my garden. Very practical and well presented.But, that doesn't beat the cookie recipe!!

Interesting. I collect recipe books so getting recipes was a surprise. Good service.I am a person of few words and I said them

I need all the help I can get in the garden, and loved this book. Great item - it was exactly what it said it was, came in great packaging, and I was very pleased with my purchase.

Jerry Apps is one good writer - I enjoyed this book, plus learned some lessons and received a lot of good information

I read this book to my 93 year old Mother and she loved it.
