Inside the book

A look at the chapters.

Three sample sections, and the full table of contents below.

II

March, honestly

Everyone's tempted to start early. The book's March chapter is about the two things worth doing before the ground is workable — planning your rotation, and hardening off whatever's been sitting under a grow light for six weeks. Everything else can wait, and this chapter says so plainly.

VI

The June bolt

Half a garden goes wrong in June, and it's rarely because of what people think. This chapter is about the actual reasons — water inconsistency, mulching too early or too late, and the trellising decision most people put off by three weeks.

X

October & the honest close

What to leave standing, what to cut back, and the compost trick that turns a chaotic end-of-season into next year's easy start. Also: what to write in your garden journal so future-you doesn't repeat this year's small mistakes.
