Just for inspiration try “Our Life in Gardens” by Joe Eck and Wayne Winterowd (though right now I have the only copy in the Lane system; promise I’ll return it soon!), a new book out that makes you want to dream big

Davin, thanks for pointing me toward Gayla! I just spent an absurd amount of time clicking around her site. And I suspect I have a trip to the bookstore coming to check out her book.

And thanks, gizo! Stocking up on patience, and exploring good soil options.

My greatest advice is a few words:
patience, observe, flexible

oh, and spend huge amounts of time making good soil – it’s key

I can recommend (despite obvious bias) both books by my partner Gayla Trail. Her newest book is called “Grow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces.” It presents a very easy-going approach to growing a bunch of what you eat.

You can take a look at growgreatgrub.com. You should also visit her website, yougrowgirl.com since there’s lots of information and an active community of gardeners.

Now we just need it to warm up a bit.
