Produktbeschreibung

From Canada's #1 garden team, a guide that makes growing your own simple, bountiful, and fun

Nothing beats a tomato freshly picked from your own garden. And there's a certain pride in enjoying a salad with just-picked strawberries that was harvested entirely from your backyard. But growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be time-consuming and feel overwhelmingly complicated. Your eagerness to get growing can easily be rained out by endless seedlings and seed packs, all accompanied by cryptic planting instructions that leave you with withered plants rather than crunchy carrots.

But it doesn't need to be that way! Frankie Flowers has decades of experience helping thumbs of all colours turn barren patches and empty pots into bountiful harvestsand he can help you do the same.

Food to Grow simplifies every growing decision you'll need to make. Frankie helps you figure out how much time you can invest and which plants will give you the best bang for your buck in the space you havewhether it be a full plot or a few containers. He guides you through the entire growing season, from prepping and planning to planting, weeding, and harvesting (the best part!). He shares not just which veggies, fruits, and herbs have become Frankie's Favourites, but also which plants just aren't worth the effort. And he demystifies exactly how many plants you need for each eater in your familyno more bushels of leftover zucchini!

Loaded with gorgeous photography that will have you desperate to get digging, Food to Grow includes a detailed A to Z index of over fifty of Canada's most popular home crops. Whether you have space for a few pots or a back forty, Frankie Flowers will help you make your dream of home-grown treats a fun and tasty reality.
