Summary

Join the millions of people who have discovered the secret to easily starting a vegetable garden, even if you have a "black thumb".

For the first-time gardener, the thought of a failing crop can be devastating. After all your hard work and the hours spent tending (and talking!) to your plants, there's no guarantee you'll end up with a harvest.

For many people, it isn't for lack of trying. The problem is, gardening is a hobby that seems easy in practice, but can be tricky if you don't do the proper research.

Why does your climate zone matter? How does the time of year affect your plants' lives and growth cycle?

It turns out, there's more to gardening than planting the seeds and crossing your fingers-although a little luck never hurt anybody!

You can start growing delicious vegetables at home to bring to the dinner table, share with friends and family, and even use to supplement your budget.

The satisfaction you'll get from that first harvest is unmatched, especially because you know how much time and effort you put in to get there.

There will be a few mishaps and bumps in the road, but with the new information you'll gain from this audiobook, you'll be ready to handle anything, from pesky pests to winter weather!

Percy Sargeant knows from experience that every gardener experiences failure at one point or another, from newbies to experts. But what sets apart the successful gardeners from the ones who throw their hands up in frustration? The secret is simple: they don't give up.

Whether you're a total beginner to gardening or looking to broaden your horizons when it comes to regional planting, you'll uncover new insights within this guide that will make it easier than ever to plant and enjoy your harvest.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazing Resourceful Book

As an indoor plant lover, it only seemed fair to start my gardening journey, I have always loved to see my plants grow and mature, and now it was time time to start learning how to grow my own food, especially nowadays when we are more informed of all the toxins that are placed in our food, nothing like growing it at home.
The amount of knowledge in this book is amazing and all the resources the do's and dont's, the how and when. How important it is to know the seasons and what seeds to buy.
Top notch book! 10/10 recommend,

Fresh food is not so hard after reading this

I never thought that I could literally "grow a garden" in my home, but after listening to this, I know it's not only possible but fairly easy to do. The author goes into a lot of detail describing soil types and what to use if gardening indoors or what to use depending on what you are growing. I'd be lost without that direction. I also like how he points out that if you do not have space to "grow out" then "grow up" and get vertical with your plants. I can easily see stacking pots of herbs on shelves in my house rather than have pots all over the floor, making no space to walk. I like also how he said, "Grow only things you will eat!" I've made the mistake in the past of growing plants that I didn't even really enjoy and then had to try to give them away to anyone who would take them. After reading this, I think I will be heading out to grab a little pot to try my hand at growing some mint and start small. Very cool guide book!

A Must Have For Your Library!

As a home gardener I learned several new things from this very well done book. I enjoyed how the author organized his thoughts & the narrator did an excellent job with pace, as it sounded good to my ears. I was impressed with the soil chapter & composting as we are always looking for ways to improve our family garden in that aspect. Get this audiobook, you will learn new things & likely even laugh in a few spots as I found myself doing. Great job on this one.

A Must Have Resource!

My curiosity for starting a garden has been sparked by our changing world and being a mom to a toddler. :) I was thinking that maybe if we started growing vegetables that it may spark an interest in her wanting to consume them as a result of taking ownership. The problem WAS...I didn't know where to start. How to take the idea and implement it because it is nothing that my parents did with me. This book is exactly what I was needing, starting with the soil! I probably would've just gone and purchased a bag of the cheapest dirt...lol. I also would've probably thrown seeds for whatever vegetables I wanted her to eat in the dirt. NOW I understand the importance behind the foundation of soil (not just dirt) and which vegetable will thrive in our area! Thank you for this comprehensive guide! The information is thorough and well researched. It is presented in an entertaining and engaging manner which is also easy to understand and follow. I can't wait to get started in maximizing our small space vertically with fresh vegetables that we will take pride in growing (successfully)!
