Summary

Why choose between healthy, organic vegetables and saving money, when you can have both? And you can do it in just a few weeks!

People are constantly on the lookout for ways to feed themselves and their families with the right amounts of vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy. Sadly, this is becoming more and more expensive.

It costs around two dollars for one pound of tomatoes and more than double that if you want to go organic.

In comparison, for just five dollars, you can plant a whole pack of tomato seeds with each plant producing an average of 10 pounds.

Add to that the fewer trips to the grocery store and no plastic wrapping—you are onto a winner.

According to the National Gardening Association, the average gardener will spend only $70 a year on their garden but grow $600 worth of food.

On top of the savings, you get to enjoy freshly harvested vegetables from your garden, knowing that not a single chemical has been used. That’s health and savings in one fun activity!

Many will look at vegetable gardens and marvel at the time and skill it must have taken. In fact, all it has taken is knowledge and patience.

The patience is up to you, but the knowledge you need is right here at your future green fingertips.

In Avoid the Mistakes as a First Time Gardener Growing Vegetables, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • A step-by-step guide to growing and harvesting over 50 easy-to-grow vegetables regardless of the size of your garden
  • Tests you can do at home to understand your soil quality and the methods to correct it...before making a mistake
  • Two simple composting techniques so you can feed your soil, reduce household waste by up to 30 percent, and help the environment
  • The benefits of adding herbs and flowers to your vegetable garden to encourage pollination, and reduce pest invasions—all while adding nutrients and flavor to your meals
  • What the USDA hardiness zones mean and what this means for you
  • How to design a vegetable garden that incorporates a diverse range of edible vegetables, herbs, and spices
  • The amazing world of companion planting—bring all the elements of your vegetable garden together
  • How to build a stunning trellis for vines, adding depth and visual appeal to your garden
  • Twenty gardening terms and their meanings that will make you feel like a pro before you even pick up a shovel
  • Bonus tips on succession planting, crop rotation, and seed stratification to move on from an amateur gardener to a vegetable growing master
  • And much more

There is one disease most feared in all gardens—black-thumbitis! That amazing ability to kill any type of plant. For no seed to germinate. Or even to replant a healthy plant from a nursery only to find it wilting and dying the next day.

This isn’t a lack of ability. It’s not a lack of time. More often than not, it’s a case of too much enthusiasm and not enough preparation.

Let’s get the balance right. Let’s get excited about the preparation so that the rest merely blooms.

If you can’t wait to start seeing vegetables grow in your garden, then scroll up and buy this audiobook right now.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Guide that sets you up for success!

I have been wanting to do it, but scared to take the leap, but this book addressed all the mistakes that are commonly made and provided step-by-step instructions to growing and harvesting over 50 easy-to-grow vegetables! The book really broke it all down in an easy to understand and implement way. I learned all about soil, the benefits of adding herbs and flowers to encourage pollination and reduce pests, and how to plant things that help the things around it grow - companion planting! I highly recommend this resource, if you are interested in starting your first garden!

Easy to follow advice

I finally have enough land to start my first garden. I liked that the book showed me many cost effective ways to let me have my hobby garden. This book actually brought in financial information which I had not seen in other gardening books. Learning that I could actually make a profit was really interesting. I live in a small town and we have a good farmer's market each week so now I am starting to think about taking this from hobby farming to being a bit more of a side business.

Trying to eat healthy is beocming more and more difficult as it is expensive so if I can also find a way to provide my family with fresh vegetables and other families at an affordable price, that would be awesome. The book has also taught me more about crop rotation, succession planting and companion planting. I've really enjoyed how much this book has me excited to start my garden. Highly recommend to anyone who is a first time gardener or just looking for some new and helpful information.

Great Lessons for First Time Growers!

I absolutely love growing my own vegetables in my garden, but I have had my fair share of issues that I have dealt with and mistakes that I have made. This audiobook would have saved me a lot of headaches if I had it sooner. This book covers soil quality, composting techniques, companion planting, and even how to build a trellis for vines to grow. Highly recommend this book to new growers, or even slightly experienced like me, because I guarantee you will learn something amazing regardless.
