    “Book Descriptions: You’re excited to plant your first vegetable garden—but where to start? In The First-Time Gardener: Growing Vegetables, you'll find the answers you're looking for.

    Homesteader Jessica Sowards, the warm and energetic host of YouTube’s Roots and Refuge Farm, is the perfect teacher for new gardeners, offering not just know-how but inspiration and time-management tips for success.

    Before you sink your hands into the soil, she’ll answer all those questions rolling around inside your head:
    Where do I put my new garden?
    How do I prepare the soil?
    What vegetables should I plant?
    Is it better to start new plants from seed or should I buy transplants?
    What about watering, feeding, and taking care of my garden?
    What do I do if bugs show up?
    There are no stupid questions here. Everyone has to start somewhere, after all. Not only will you learn how to prepare, plant, and tend your first vegetable garden, you’ll also learn:
    How to design an eco-friendly layout
    How to grow with the seasons
    How to maximize your harvest, even if you only grow in a small space
    Jessica wants your first food-growing experience to be a positive one, and she’s prepared to go the distance to make sure tending the earth becomes your new favorite hobby.

    A single growing season is all it takes to fall in love with growing your own healthy, organic, nutrient-dense food. With Jessica as your guide, you’ll soon discover all the satisfactions, challenges, and great joys of growing your own food garden.
