This review is from: Backyard Farming: Growing Your Own Fresh Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs in a Small Space (Paperback)

Despite being written over a decade ago, I have found Backyard Farming to be a timeless gem. I have learned techniques for making planting beds and what vegetables, fruits, and herbs to plant in my small space. I will use the techniques I learned from Backyard Farming as I continue to expand my gardening in the future.
