Starter Vegetable Gardens

24 No-Fail Plans for Small Organic Gardens

Home

Are you planning your first vegetable garden, or transitioning from growing flowers to good things to eat? I’m Barbara Pleasant, author of Starter Vegetable Gardens, and I want to help you find success, your very first season.

Starter Vegetable Gardens includes 24 simple, no-fail plans for small organic gardens, including three that start small and grow along with your experience. The largest plans are designed to put food on the table fast by making the most of a 30 x 30 foot gardening space.

Have you already seen my newest book? It left the Storey Publishing warehouse in March 2010, and many libraries have ordered copies. If you’re thinking of buying the book, you can read reviews below. All online sellers have copies, and Starter Vegetable Gardens is in all major bookstores, and is offered by many mail order seed catalogs, too.
