Review Quotes:
"Whether the subject is earthworms, compost, or the way gardening supports mental health, I'm drawn to the quiet passion that flows just beneath the surface of these detail-rich pages. Unlike the author, I only grow a few herbs and tomatoes for the kitchen. And yet, I found the particulars of raising my favorite vegetables endlessly fascinating and educational."-- Ken Haedrich, author of The Harvest Baker and Pie Academy

Review Quotes:
"Tanya shares her knowledge and resources in such a clear and actionable way. There is useful information here, whether you grow a mini-farm or a simple border of hardy herbs. I really appreciate the afterword where Tanya breaks down what "organic" means as a label and what organic means in our backyards... where we have the most control over what goes into our food."-- Renee Brooks Catacalos, author of The Chesapeake Table: Your Guide to Eating Local
