This is a fascinating read and one of those I'll have to save for later because right now, I'm not planning to start a garden but I might one day. It's nice that the author gave practical advice on having a good harvest which is beginner friendly. And tips on how to grow and take care of a variety of gardens. I can see how a lot of farmers or gardeners would find this book useful. I will be sure to recommend it. Congratulations on BOTD.
