Everything You Wish You Knew to Start a Self- Sustainable Organic Veg
by Becca Mills
Like it or not, uncertainties are the new normal. But along with all these uncertainties comes the desire need to have control over as much of your life as possible; including knowing where your food comes from and what you are putting into your body (and the bodies of your family). In turn, that has led to an increased desire by many to grow their own food--or at least some of it. And since you are reading this, it is safe to assume that you are one of those people.Good for you! And guess what? You don't' even have to worry if you aren't quite sure how to go about it. That's where I come in.Like you, there was a time when I didn't know anything about gardening. But time, good advice from experienced gardeners, and a lot of trial and error, and trial and success, changed all that--so much so that I decided to write this book.This isn't your ordinary garden how-to book, though. Between the cover of this book you will find page after page of information on the foundations of gardening...and lots, lots more. For example, by the time you read the last page, you will know:- How to start a successful organic garden.- The type of garden is right for you.- The basic needs and knowledge for successful small-scale vegetable gardening, from preparing the soil and what tools you need, to choosing the right varieties of vegetables for your garden space.- How to harvest and preserve what you grow.- Recipes for preparing tasty and nutritious food for your family to enjoy--food YOU have grown.- How to turn gardening into a hands-on classroom for your kids.- How to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and family relationships.So, let me ask you--are you ready to learn how to garden successfully? To actually be excited about getting dirty? To be more confident, content, and just plain happy with who you are and what you are doing for your family? Then let's get started, because I can say for sure and for certain that there is nothing in the world as satisfying (or tasty) as savoring every bite of a salad, corn on the cob, green beans, fresh tomatoes, or anything else you've grown for your family's table.Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes. (anon-ymous) Even though I don't know who said this (first), I do know that it is true. But I'll even go so far as to say you get a whole lot more than 'just' therapy and tomatoes. You get the yumminess of all the other veggies you grow, as well as hefty amounts of self-confidence, a sense of accomplishment, a sense of wonder that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and the knowledge that you are doing something productive and beneficial for you and your family. I know that sounds like a lot from a simple patch of ground and some seeds. But trust me--it's true. As I sit here typing, we are almost three months into the world-wide pandemic called Covid-19 or Coronavirus. No matter what your thoughts and opinions are on the matter, we have to agree on this: it has changed us all. Some of these changes have been voluntary. Some have been forced upon us by lawmakers looking out for the best interest and welfare of the general population. Some are temporary. Some are temporary but have a much longer time-frame for hanging around. And some...some are permanent. That's right--whether we like it or not, some of the changes we've made due to this virus are going to be our new normal. One of the new normals we are seeing is the need to be a bit more self-sufficient and prepared. This of course, is in compari-son to assuming we can get what we want and need when we want and need it. We know, however, that this is no longer the case. Among the hardest-hit areas is that of the food supply. Whether on a national or international level, we are all feeling (to some degree or another) the effects of what Covid-19 has done to our food supply chain.
