Book Description
Excerpt from The Home Garden: A Book on Vegetable and Small-Fruit Growing, for the Use of the Amateur Gardener The writer of this little book is a firm believer in a vegetable garden for every family so situated that it can have one. This for several reasons: F int - A garden, well cared for, will furnish half if not more of the living for a family of ordinary size, provided, of course, it is made up of persons who are fond of vegetables. Not only is this possible through the summer, but the year round, for many of our best vegetables can be carried through the winter in fine con dition with but very little trouble. And it need not be a large garden to do this. The old theory - Which was not a theory, after all, but a fact - that a little piece of land, well tilled is a source of revenue that the wise man cannot afford to overlook, holds true in this case as much as it does when the farm is considered. I know of no other way in which such a goodly share of the family living can be secured; therefore I urge the making of a garden as a means of support for the family.

Book Description

This gorgeous kitchen gardening cookbook is filled with simple and inspiring recipes as well as practical, useful information for anyone interested in growing the foods they love to eat. There are few things more rewarding than sitting down to enjoy a delicious meal made with fruits, vegetables, eggs, or honey harvested right outside your back door. This gorgeous cookbook is filled with inspiring recipes as well as practical information for anyone interested in growing the foods they love to eat. Little can match the pleasure of sitting down for a meal at a table laden with fruits, vegetables, or herbs from your own garden, along with eggs and honey from hand-raised chickens and bees. Whether you are an avid gardener with raised beds and a flock of chickens; grow a few herbs in pots on the kitchen windowsill; or purchase your seasonal ingredients from local farmers’ markets, you’ll find fresh ideas for cooking and gardening inside these pages. With a focus on the “greatest hits” of a classic edible plot—tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, and berries, to name a few—author Jeanne Kelley guides you through the seasons of the garden and shows you how to plan and plant more than 40 different types of herbs, vegetables, and fruits, and to ensure that they thrive. For the more ambitious, Jeanne also gives tips and advice on raising chickens and keeping bees in your own backyard. But this book is about much more than planting a kitchen garden and cultivating wholesome food at home. More than 100 easy-to-prepare recipes make use of this bounty, from fresh peach ice cream to shaved zucchini salad with almonds; cherry tomato and thyme frittata to honey-drizzled baked feta with anise and mint. Jeanne’s collection of irresistible dishes showcases the natural flavors of just-picked ingredients and provides plenty of inspiration for making the most of any homegrown harvest. The Kitchen Garden Cookbook also features lavish photography and charming illustrations that take you on a tour of Jeanne’s garden and urban homestead and bring to life many of the beautiful dishes you can create from your produce. For home cooks and vegetable gardeners alike, this book is the go-to guide for anyone looking to connect the virtues of the homegrown and homemade to your everyday table.

Excerpt from A Home Vegetable-Garden: Suggestions of Real Gardens for Home-Makers Makers and Others Do you know how fragrant a cucumber blossom is? So fragrant, it fills its place in the garden full of perfume, when the dew forms at night. The big clumsy martynia grows scores of exquisite orchid-like blooms. The okra blossom has colors as rich and varied as those of the choicest gladioli. Garden peas are as pretty as sweet peas. Blossom and fruit; bird song and sunlight and cool shade; the fresh odor of the newly turned soil; the con tinual surprises and the wonder of growth - these are some of the riches of a real gardener.

Excerpt from How to Make a Vegetable Garden: A Practical and Suggestive Manual for the Home Garden Longfellow says, There is no death; What seems so is transition, and to me this giving, taking and returning by Nature is one of the grandest things in the world. He who is near to Nature's heart, is very near his Creator. It is the love of all that is outdoors, and Dame Experience's sharp but unforgettable lessons, together with the many things we have learned from books and friends, that have made it possible for us to write this volume. May it make warm friends and help others to enjoy their garden more than ever before. It has been our earnest effort to tell the simple, necessary things, leaving the deep and scientific parts to those who make such things their life-study. I trust, however, that we have left out no links in the chain of the plants' life - history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
