Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mid-South Gardening is the definitive guide to growing vegetables in the Middle South (Zones 6-7 of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina). Over a century of intensive farming of corn, cotton, and soybeans have destroyed many of the soils of this region, such that vegetable gardeners often have to contend with depleted soils, soils without any topsoil remaining, or soils contaminated with weedkillers and pesticides. In addition, the Mid-South is known for its variable climate, with hot, humid summers that nevertheless often bring weeks or months of drought, and cold, muddy winters when warm, sunny days may alternate with freezing rain and temperatures in the teens. Climate change is likely to make this unpredictability much worse. First-time gardeners in the South face these challenges, plus weed and insect pressure far beyond what most Maine or California gardeners will ever see. Author John Wages has drawn on his years of experience with organic gardening not only in the South, but also on the East and West Coasts, to explain the best strategies for dealing with the unique problems faced by gardeners in the South. Written with the new gardener or the transplanted Northerner in mind, this book guides the gardener on the best ways to overcome these challenges. The heart of the book is a compendium of usual and unusual vegetables, venturing from beans, okra, and tomatoes to huazontle, edible gourds, air potatoes, and Lagos spinach, with detailed growing recommendations for each, plus tips for growing broccoli, kale, and other cool-weather vegetables in the South. Emphasizing organic gardening methods, the author also covers the advantages of a permaculture approach, incorporating diversity in plantings to attract pollinators and other beneficial insects, and many other techniques. Resource lists, including other books on Southern gardening, links to state agricultural resources, and seed companies, round out the offering. Gardeners in difficult climates or on problem soils-not only in the South-will find tools for success in this book.

Book excerpt: In today’s South, where fine gardening is a tradition, many homeowners and professional gardeners are discovering a vast “new” palette of plant materials—native plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.
