Kitchen Garden Revival: A modern guide to creating a stylish small-scale, low-maintenance edible garden | Nicole Johnsey Burke

pick

I loved reading this book but I know a kitchen garden like the ones the author creates is just not for me. I love a big rambling vegetable garden.@I‘m not one for aesthetic or neat….i love the beauty of chaos! But I learned a lot from this book and plan to use a few ideas in our organic garden.

Seed Libraries: And Other Means of Keeping Seeds in the Hands of the People | Cindy Conner

💦 We “checked out” some seeds from the seed library at our public library for the first time!
We got the zinnia seeds and desert wildflowers. Next step is to plant them! 🌱

Martha Stewart's Gardening: month by month | Martha Stewart

Classic Martha vs New Martha. Martha Stewart's Gardening Month by Month is old favorite of mine. Yes it's a bit dated, but I'm always inspired by it. I usually flip through whatever month we are in. Plus it has seasonal recipes.

I was excited to get my hands the first new Martha gardening book in 30 years - Martha Stewart's Gardening Handbook. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Beautiful book. Garden photography has come a long way. Appreciated graphics of things like Companion Planting. Favorite part was the Monthly Calendars at the end. While it's very informative, feels geared more towards the newer gardener. Would be a perfect gift for someone who's just starting to garden. I enjoyed it, but I'm glad I got a copy from my Library rather than purchasing. I'm sticking with Classic Martha in my Gardening Library. 👩🏻‍🌾 2w

Oh, I wish you could see/hear the video of “my” little finch enjoying the fountain in my backyard! Perfect day for reading this book that I found at #bartsbooks in Ojai, CA. 💛

Loved this little book. I never knew there was so much to these gorgeous flowers. I also picked up some tips as to why I have no flowers yet…need to wait another two years!

Peonies: A Little Book of Flowers | Tara Austen Weaver

I love peonies, they are the flower I always buy for my step gran. I‘m trying to grow one with no luck currently.

freeatlast1137 That is a pretty cover! 2mo

TheBookHippie I love them too. 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly I adore peonies. They‘re the one flower I like as much cut as growing. 2mo

BookNAround I love peonies too. I don‘t love the fact that they need ants to be successful though! 2mo

Darklunarose @Clare-Dragonfly hey truely are beautiful! 2mo

Darklunarose @BookNAround I didn‘t know that about ants! We have masses of what I call feral attack ninja ants, the peony is in a pot under our lemon tree that the ants protect (scale insects) maybe they will finally be useful! But it‘s probably the climate here making it hard. 2mo

MemoirsForMe I may need to grow these and give all the ants around here something useful to do! 😁 2mo

Darklunarose @MemoirsForMe 🤣 I know they have. Place in nature! But they should be constructive. One of ours bit a friend near the eye last week while she was weeding here. 1mo

This was a lovely little book about how gardens (both real and those depicted in art) shape one's life. I have about a quarter acre of land that is an absolute mess right now, and it was nice to read stories about people with beautiful gardens who also struggled to find their green thumb. I made pinterest boards and added lots of suggestions to my TBR that I can refer back to as I begin my work this spring!

jen_the_scribe I have a huge planter‘s box my husband got for me. I‘ve always wanted to have a garden but feel like I kill plants too much lol. Maybe this book will inspire me to finally get started, I keep seeing it everywhere. 2mo

Rachel.Rencher @jen_the_scribe I feel you! I failed at container gardening and I've struggled to keep succulents alive. I think a lot of it is due to the fact that I've never prioritized learning about the plants I have or my garden zones, but I'm ready to change that! 2mo

jen_the_scribe @Rachel.Rencher I think that‘s what I need to change as well, to actually do my research and keep trying. It must be like everything else, it just takes time and practice. 2mo

I picked this book up at the library sale this morning. I've been hoping to find some inspiration to get started on my yard this year. 🌸☀️
