Review & Description

If you've ever been frustrated growing roses in cold climates, and using organic techniques, this is your answer. Award winning garden author Doug Green grows tender hybrid tea roses in his USDA 4 garden without any winter protection and has been doing so for over 20 years now. Not only hybrid teas but other tender roses grace his gardens without any winter protection Doug wrote the best-selling paper book on these techniques and has brought this information to ebooks with this edition. He has updated all the information, added relevant information asked by readers over the years and eliminated the material traditional publishers like to add to pad out the book. What's here is the result of over 30 years of rose growing in tough winter climates (Canada) and clear instructions about how to duplicate his success. This information comes from an experienced gardener, nurseryman and award winning author and is sure to revolutionize the way you grow your roses. The techniques are all organic and because of the way the roses are grown, Doug does not spray his roses for diseases (although he has to control for insect pests - and he tells you how to do this organically as well).If you've ever been frustrated growing roses in cold climates, and using organic techniques, this is your answer.

Review & Description

$2.99 for Kindle only. A pompous man offends the plant kingdom and finds that the enemy is everywhere he turns.

Bertram Luce did a remarkable job concealing the murder of his wife. His story was unshakable, his alibis sound. No human eyes witnessed the atrocity and Luce went on his way, wealthier and more pompous than ever with the success of his crime.

The deed might have gone unpunished if not for the wrath of the most dominant and diverse army on the planet. Typically silent witnesses to the atrocities of man, the world of plants this time will rise up collectively to see that justice is served. And Bertram Luce will find his pursuers literally everywhere he turns.

A COMPLETE AND PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE PLANTING AND CARE OF ALL VEGETABLES, FRUITS AND BERRIES WORTH GROWING FOR HOME USE.
With some, the home vegetable garden is a hobby; with others, especially in these days of high prices, a great help. There are many in both classes whose experience in gardening has been restricted within very narrow bounds, and whose present spare time for gardening is limited. It is as "first aid" to such persons, who want to do practical, efficient gardening, and do it with the least possible fuss and loss of time, that this book is written. In his own experience the author has found that garden books, while seldom lacking in information, often do not present it in the clearest possible way. It has been his aim to make the present volume first of all practical, and in addition to that, though comprehensive, yet simple and concise. If it helps to make the way of the home gardener more clear and definite, its purpose will have been accomplished.• Over 60 New Photos and Illustrations

The Ultimate Guide to Permaculture (The Ultimate Guides) (Paperback)

The Ultimate Guide to Permaculture (The Ultimate Guides)
The Ultimate Guide to Permaculture (The Ultimate Guides) (Paperback)
By Nicole Faires

Review & Description

Learn how your garden can grow itself—working with nature to grow natively and naturally!

Permaculture is an important but often misunderstood method of growing food and building homes in a manner that works with nature, rather than against it, to create beautiful, healthy, and useful gardens. Blending ecology, organic agriculture, green home design, appropriate technology, and biology can be confusing and overwhelming, but The Ultimate Guide to Permaculture simplifies this vast field for practical application. This is a hands-on guide, taking the beginner through each step of the design process, so that anyone can apply permaculture principles to their own life. While the principles are simple, the in-depth topics cover every aspect of permaculture, including:

- Building green homes and passive solar design 

- Growing edible plant communities and forest gardens 

- Using no-till and natural farming methods 

- Creating microclimates for extended growing seasons 

- Raising livestock with ecological foraging techniques 

This is a common-sense approach to sustainable living that creates a self-sufficient and low-effort home for the people that live there, whether in the city or the country. The Ultimate Guide to Permaculture isn’t a philosophy book, or a dissertation on theory. It is a step‐by‐step, complete guide to every aspect of permaculture.

By Georgia O'Keeffe

Review & Description

The first female American painter to gain worldwide respect from both critics and the general public, Georgia O’Keeffe created images of powerful simplicity that invite viewers to see the familiar in a new way—whether it be the delicate petals of a flower enlarged to fill a whole canvas or the vast desert landscapes of her beloved New Mexico reduced to a few intimate details. The twelve paintings reproduced in this calendar capture the many nuances of the artist’s talent and her unforgettable style.
