About the Author

As a young boy, Jack couldn't wait for school to be out so he could go to grandma's farm. About time he got there, it would be thinning' time in grandma's garden. Jack would follow along behind grandma and pick up most of the rejected seedlings. Off he would rush to the back corner of the garden where grandma had prepared some space for him. He transplanted the little seedlings and tending them carefully, managed to keep most of them alive. Later, Jack was very proud to be able to present some of his vegetables and help cook them for grandpa's dinner.

Since then, no matter what he was doing or where he was, Jack managed to have something growing and cooking. Now, he brings this lifetime experience to you in his series of gardening cookbooks "From Seed To Supper" for good growing, good eating and good health! He will help you with what to grow, how to grow it and what to do with it once it's grown.
