The Week-by-Week Vegetable Gardener's Handbook: Make the Most of Your Growing Season
Description
“Timing is everything,” they say, and vegetable gardening is no exception.
Knowing exactly when to start seeds indoors, what day to transplant them into
the ground, when to pinch off the blossoms, and when to pick for peak flavor
is the secret to enjoying bountiful harvests all through the gardening season.
In Week-by-Week Vegetable Gardener’s Handbook, authors Ron and Jennifer
Kujawski take the guesswork out of gardening with weekly to-do lists that
break gardening down into easily manageable tasks. Suitable for all gardening
zones, the book offers easy instructions for setting up a personalized
schedule based on your last frost date. The Kujawskis are an inspiring father–
daughter team who share their own triumphs, mistakes, and misadventures over
many years spent together in the vegetable patch. Readers will enjoy the
friendly direction and advice these veterans offer. Easy-to-read boxes,
bulleted lists, charts, and detailed how-to illustrations make each week’s
activities clear and doable. Spots for record-keeping encourage readers to
track their own successes and fine-tune their weekly schedules from year to
year. Inch by inch, row by row, week by week, gardeners will move confidently
through the gardening season. Whether it’s planting the strawberries, pinching
off the pumpkin blossoms, checking for tomato hornworm, or harvesting the
carrots, they will know exactly when and how to do it for the most bountiful
harvests and the most enjoyable vegetable-growing experiences ever. Read more
