How to grow your own food in the Heartland!
There is nothing more regionally specific than vegetable gardening--what to plant, when to plant it, and when to harvest are decisions based on climate, weather, and first frost. The Timber Press Guide to Vegetable Gardening in the Midwest , by regional expert Michael VanderBrug, focuses on the unique eccentricities of the Midwest gardening calendar. The month-by-month format makes it perfect for beginners--gardeners can start gardening the month they pick it up.
This must-have book is for home gardeners in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Includes bibliographical reference (pages 165-167) index.
Ah, the delights of gardening in the Midwest! While the cold winters and hot, humid summers can present gardeners with a challenge, VaderBrug shows you ways to have a productive garden and an ever-changing menu of seasonal foods.
