Gardening is all about enjoying nature. It is the perfect fun activity for kids, parents, and grandparents.
If you love to garden, Jacqueline Soule's book is a must read. It is written for gardening in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, but is adaptable to other regions. Even if vegetable gardening is not for you, this picturesque book has a treasure trove of information on beautiful trees and bushes.
Gardening is not just for spring and summer. The author shares a variety of vegetables and herbs that can be grown during the colder months. Souls provides a list of tools, soil information, a guide for picking plants and seeds. Additionally included are comprehensive tips on controlling pests, weeds, proper watering, and maintaining the plants. Soule instructs on growing gorgeous vegtables, herbs, nuts, and fruit in step-by-step detail. The book will be published March 15, 2022.
