Tired of genetically modified food? Every day, Americans are
moving more toward eating natural, locally grown food that
is free of pesticides and preservatives—and there is no
better way to ensure this than to grow it yourself. Anyone
can start a garden, whether in a backyard or on a city
rooftop; but what they need to truly succeed is The
Heirloom Life Gardener, a comprehensive guide to
cultivating heirloom vegetables.
In this invaluable
resource, Jere and Emilee Gettle, cofounders of the Baker
Creek Heirloom Seed Company, offer a wealth of knowledge to
every kind of gardener—experienced pros and novices alike.
In his friendly voice, complemented by gorgeous photographs,
Jere gives planting, growing, harvesting, and seed saving
tips.
In addition, an extensive A to Z Growing Guide
includes amazing heirloom varieties that many people have
never even seen. From seed collecting to the history of seed
varieties and name origins, Jere takes you far beyond the
heirloom tomato. This is the first book of its kind that is
not only a guide to growing beautiful and delicious
vegetables, but also a way to join the movement of people
who long for real food and a truer way of living.
