Good for Most Eastern States
I spent 3 years and thousands
of hours writing the "Western North Carolina Farm and Garden Calendar" good for
Hardiness Zones 5-7. It can be used in most hardiness zones in the United States
by adding or subtracting months depending on the climate. I wrote it to help people
survive better in hard times.
A Practical and Useful How-To Manual
It shows you when/how to plant and harvest for each month of the year for your
garden, greenhouse and farm. Each month is divided into 5 sections: Garden-Maintenance,
Garden-Plant, Garden-Harvest, Greenhouse, and Farm Animals.
Plus there
are special garden tips, seed saving, seed starting, soil fertility, plant health,
pest control methods, plant families, herbs, fruit/nut trees, foraging, folklore,
pasture/hay, farm animals, using medicinal plants, food storage, and food preparation.
Natural living. This is a labor of love.
Guidance for All Levels of
Gardeners and Farmers
It is good for the novice or sophisticated gardener.
Written in simple terms for all to understand with many definitions, and references
to good books. The down-home, natural, organic way of growing food and raising
animals.
Experienced gardeners learn about unusual plants and different
methods of growing and harvesting plants. For instance, growing potatoes from
seeds (not tubers) to fight disease problems that is very interesting.
When
Times are Hard, Your Family Can Survive
Written with survival gardening/farming
as the priority. For instance, crops that give high yield in calories in a small
area are emphasized.
Vegetables good for storing over winter are covered
extensively with information on how to store them properly, and which varieties
store the best. Grain harvesting by hand is explained.
One goal is to
get people gardening and farming most of the year with many cool season crops.
Some vegetables can be grown all year in most climates with a greenhouse or cold
frame.
Self-Sufficient Farming and Gardening
Sustainable
farming and gardening is stressed with alternatives given for getting a job done
with limited resources.
For instance, recipes for worming animals are
given, some of which you can grow. Another example is how to make your own rooting
hormone with willow. Be self sufficient. Save money.

"Got the comfrey
and book the other day. After reading a bit, I realized that I will always be
able to 'find' some thing that needs done! Started cultivating a blackberry patch
yesterday. Today was officially hatch day, although most came yesterday afternoon
and through the night." -Jaime, North Carolina
