Hello all. I just finished reading this book and I wanted to share it with you all because if you are thinking about planting your own garden, successfully growing your own food and/or learning more about what's available out there to grow plus much more about non-GMO and heirlooms you need to check out this book - The Heirloom Life Gardener as well as Rareseeds.com, Jere and Emilee's web site for The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed company.
This book read like a conversation with your best friend, but with awesome pictures and an A to Z growing guide at your fingertips. The chapters start with a little history on "Seeds in America" and how Jere and Emilee met and started The Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company. It then gets into their knowledge of seeds from around the world, "How to Garden" and grow them, the crucial art of "Seed Saving" and finishing up with a thorough "A to Z Growing Guide" on fruits and vegetables in a compact 218 pages. The last 135 pages are all dedicate dedicated to the growing guide.
I think we will start a 5 start rating system in which I would give this book 4 stars! Thank you Jere and Emilee. I look forward to making many more purchases from you in the near future as I recommend you all do so as well. Enjoy!
