Looking to start your own garden and grow your own food? First-Time Gardener has everything you need to know when starting your own gardening journey.

Homesteader Jessica Sowards, the warm and energetic host of YouTube’s Roots and Refuge Farm, is the perfect teacher for new gardeners, offering not just know-how but inspiration and time-management tips for success.

Before you sink your hands into the soil, she’ll answer all those questions rolling around inside your head:

  • Where do I put my new garden?
  • How do I prepare the soil?
  • What vegetables should I plant?
  • Is it better to start new plants from seed or should I buy transplants?
  • What about watering, feeding, and taking care of my garden?
  • What do I do if bugs show up?

There are no stupid questions here. Everyone has to start somewhere, after all.

Not only will you learn how to prepare, plant, and tend your first vegetable garden, you’ll also learn:

  • How to design an eco-friendly layout
  • How to grow with the seasons
  • How to maximize your harvest, even if you only grow in a small space

Jessica wants your first food-growing experience to be a positive one, and she’s prepared to go the distance to make sure tending the earth becomes your new favorite hobby.

A single growing season is all it takes to fall in love with growing your own healthy, organic, nutrient-dense food. With Jessica as your guide, you’ll soon discover all the satisfactions, challenges, and great joys of growing your own food garden.

My Favorite Book ... has a new Spine!

Cookbooks are a challenge. Heavy cookbooks more so.
"The Perfect Loaf" is my ultimate tool for artisan bread baking. And now it has been transformed by Lay-It-Flat into my '21st Century Bible' because it is never in the way when I am baking due to the reduced footprint on my counter. Immediate reference to things I have read, ingredient amounts, levain times and percentages, etc. stay at my fingertips from preheat to final cooling!
The extra you pay for a Lay-It-Flat book is about one sack of good flour's cost ... Now ain't that worth the money? p.s. Can ya tell I am happy with this purchase?
