Dear Almanac Companion readers,
We, your Almanac editors, have some exciting news to share with you, our Almanac Companion readers! After inspiring and instructing gardeners for 227 years (!), we have created a single “how to garden” reference book that includes all of our expertise!
Introducing our . . .
Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook
All you need to know to grow! |
|
|  | Like that treasured cookbook that you refer to again and again, the Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook is designed to be the definitive gardening resource! No one knows gardening like The Old Farmer’s Almanac!
Why now? It may surprise some readers to learn that the Almanac has never gathered all of our advice together into one go-to book—and we have taught generations how to bring their gardens from seed to seedling to flower to fruit! Happily, we are finding that gardening is on the rise again! According to the National Gardening Association, 35% of U.S. households grow food at home or in a community garden—and that number is “growing.”
We created the Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook to bring the joy of vegetable gardening to everyone—no matter their age, gender, income level, or how much space they have to grow the veggie garden of their dreams. We cover all of the essentials: planting, watering, protection from pests, harvesting, and bushels of growing-specific articles and reference charts. | | WHAT'S INSIDE THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S HANDBOOK? | | The practical advice presented in the Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook demystifies gardening by providing the best-proven methods for sowing, growing, and harvesting.
Highlights include: - Step-by-step advice for success with more than 30 vegetables in any zone
- The dirt on soil: why testing is so important—and how to do it
- Easy techniques for growing in-ground, plus alternatives to traditional raised beds
- Seed-starting and -saving methods simplified
- Gardeners’ friends and foes: Learn which plants help (or hinder) vegetables
- Enlightening (and humorous!) anecdotes from fellow gardeners
- Space for noting your observations and experiences
- More than 150 full-color photos
- Essential reference tables and charts
- Much, much more!
