My wife and I have been talking about starting a little vegetable patch for ages, mostly so I can get my four-year-old son outside and playing in the dirt with a purpose. Honestly, though, every time I looked into it, I felt like I needed a PhD in botany just to keep a tomato plant alive. This guide cut through all of that noise. It laid out the whole companion planting idea—letting certain plants help each other out—in a way that just clicked, and suddenly the goal of having a few fresh veggies for our growing family feels totally doable. Lucas Ward's narration is fantastic; he sounds less like an expert talking down to you and more like a patient, friendly neighbor offering advice over the fence. I'd recommend this book to any parent or complete novice who, like me, just wants to grow something without getting buried in complicated science.

The first time I came across a companion planting garden my mouth dropped. The plants were so healthy and vibrant. I later came across another companion plant garden which took it to the next level by coordinating colors as much possible - I never forgot it.

I'd always believed such gardens were outside of my capability, or simply just TOO much work. This book provided so much from companion shading - who knew this was possible, working with small spacing, and becoming VERY strategic about your selections. I have so much more respect for the mighty Marigold and Basil plants! If you're ready to dig into your own sustenance in a healthy way - for yourself and the planet, this is a great book to begin with!

I have to admit that I have never really thought about pairing the correct herbs and vegetables in my small kitchen garden. I enjoy having fresh herbs for cooking and often add in a few vegetables as well. But, I've had some issues with a lack of pollination for my tomatoes and peppers, and a lot of challenges keeping rabbits and deer away from the plants. A friend suggested that maybe I needed to think more about which herbs to plant around the vegetables, and also the right placement and spacing. This audiobook really helped me think about planning out my garden better instead of just placing things anywhere. I also really appreciate the information about what to plant at different times of year for multiple harvests. I've already started sketching out my Fall plantings so I can put what I've learned into practice soon.
