Has Spring sprung?

March 19, 2018 | by

Out here on the west coast, we tend to get started on our gardens early. In the last two weeks, I’ve seen crocuses, daffodils, and cherry blossoms!

 

That means it’s time to get thinking what you’ll be planting. Check out these awesome titles to get you started!

Awesome Ancient Grains & Seeds

This book has recipes AND growing instructions, so you can get your own supply of quinoa, bulger, and spelt and then figure out what to do with them!

by Gilkeson, Linda (03/20/18)
9780865718418 | New Society | UTP

For those of us in the PNW, a fantastic, encyclopedic resource! If it isn’t contained in this book, you don’t need to know it!

Sadly, some of us live in teeny tiny apartments with balconies under 20 square feet (ahem). But that’s okay, there are some awesome ideas for how to stretch your green thumb indoors in this beauty of a book!

Finally, you’re going to have to take some notes (and maybe even draw out a garden plan), so you better pick up some pretty pencils and get to work!
