Little Farm in the Garden: A Practical Mini-Guide to Raising Selected Fruits and Vegetables Homestead-Style

From the author of the "Little Farm" homesteading memoirs comes a friendly, down-to-earth little guide for starting and maintaining a thriving food garden, homestead-style.

In Little Farm in the Garden, Susan Colleen Browne shares the evolution of her own homestead garden with warmth and humor. Whether you're starting with a pot, a small plot, or dedicated garden beds, she covers how to begin growing your own food with basic nut-and-bolts like selecting crops, raising food without chemicals, and creating healthy soil.

If you've read Susan's Little Farm memoirs, this booklet can be a handy addition to the homesteading experiences she's shared in her books. But Little Farm in the Garden also works as a stand-alone manual for simple ways to approach creating your own food supply, focusing on easy-to-grow vegetables, herbs, and fruit, and building a balanced garden for the long-term.

In these uncertain times, producing your own food supply can give you confidence in the future--and as all gardening fans know, a sense of pleasure and accomplishment. Wherever you are in your gardening journey, Little Farm in the Garden offers a lively, heartfelt approach for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages!

If you like fiction with a gardening theme, you might look at Susan's novel, The Galway Girls--the story has some intriguing tie-ins with her real-life experiences in Book 2 of the Little Farm series, Little Farm Homegrown... Susan's latest novel is Becoming Emma Book 2 of her new Fairy Cottage of Ballydara Mini-Series!
