Gardening Asparagus
I need a recommendation for a beginner gardening book. "
I live in 2.1 of an acre so I have lots of space. My parents always had a garden, but that was 20 + years ago and I did not know much then. I am trying to grow tomatoes, chives, herbs, pumpkin, spinach, asparagus, peas, green beans, onion, garlic, strawberries, peppers, potatoes, carrots, corn and soybeans. Thanks for your help.
You will need at least three Gardening Books. Everything you mentioned is considered a 'vegetable farm, "so you'll need a good book on vegetable gardening in general … you I knew that if you plant your radishes into roses, both radishes and roses will grow better and healthier? Did you know you can use both petals and hips' of roses in kitchen? I found this out of my book of vegetable gardening in general first. You will also want a garden "area specific" book (Are you sure where you live can support the growth of all you mentioned?), And a book on Garden Design and decoration. Get the books soon as possible because you will want to get your garden "planned" and know what you want to start in pots indoors earlier. Spring is for dig and get dirty. The winter is for dreaming of spring and summer. Autumn is for harvesting (But you'll want to harvest the asparagus in late spring and early summer, and perhaps plant a second crop). Go to Amazon.com and do a search to find the books available, buy the best you can (most of the books 'excerpts' you can read this website), then get the books. I will not recommend any particular book for you because this is the first part of the fun of becoming a gardener. And do not forget to plant some flowers, too … they will help their vegetables will your help. I had about a quarter of Acre and "merged" the vegetables with the flowers, and put the "kid friendly" plants along the paths. My children would go hungry when they were playing and be able to get their "tent" and eat some raw beans (green, yellow), or take a walk over the bridge to eat strawberries, blueberries some, or pull some carrots! Yes, my children ate vegetables and … because I saw them grow. Good luck, have fun, and realize the garden will not be perfect … garden and planning the next year will be even more fun!
