Seed Starting…excellent book,
This was a very informative, easy to read book. I found it very useful to know what I need to do to make my seed starting more successful. Some of the points I found the most useful to me were:
*when to start seeds inside (I usually start them all at the same time)
*which seeds to just start outside and when (I thought you had to wait until after the last frost)
*what kind of “soil” to use and not use (I’ve tried using garden soil before)
*how to transplant the plants to larger containers (I usually just leave them in the original pot)
I’m excited to give the ideas presented in the book a try! This book is good for absolute beginners as well as those (like me) who’ve done some seed starting before with limited success.
I was provided a free copy of this book for my honest review. I did not receive any other compensation for this review.

|God’s Little Acre… (Almost!),
Hey… I haven’t gardened in years, but after reading this nicely written piece, I am sorely tempted to get back at what is one of life’s more pleasurable experiences.
The author offers no fluff or long-winded pitches. He gets right down to business and describes in clear and concise language exactly what you need to do to end up with your dream of a garden. And we are talking here about actual food for your table. You end up with vegetables that you will want to tell your friends and neighbors you grew yourself… some folks call this boasting. I agree it is but I also agree that when you put the work into your creation, you deserve to feel a little full of yourself — and some good vegetables too.
His book is a quick read with some color photos and even one of the author who isn’t half-bad looking for a guy who has liked to get dirt up under his fingernails almost every year of his life. And even his credentials as a Parks Manager support my opinion that he really knows what he is talking about.

|Original and Thoughftul!,
This has to be one of the most original books I think I’ve read — and not just within the gardening category.
This is the type of book that if you adopt just one or two of the over-700 ideas, your money would be well spent. You will benefit not only from the author’s years of professional experience, but also from the trial (trowl) and error in her own garden.
The art and design of this book is fabulous, and is presented in easy bytes.
I love this book and highly recommend it to any gardener — from beginner to expert.

|Trowel and Error: Over 700 Tips, Remedies and Shortcuts for,
A fantastically informative and humourous book. Hundreds of organic ways to keep your garden free of pests and preditors plus much, much more. I have all of Sharon’s books. They are by far my favorite of the dozens of gardening books I own. I had better purchase a second book for my garden library because I know I will wear this book out.
A note to Sharon Lovejoy – KEEP WRITING !!!
