Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Celery Seed sowing Trench Growing Knowing More about Earthing up Onions Spinach Summer Spinach Winter Spinach Leeks Asparagus Preparing Your Asparagus Bed Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Deep-rooted vegetables have been grown by gardeners for millenniums, because they know that there is going to be a next advantage of having a deep-rooted vegetables’ harvest. Not only is it going to be bountiful, but the treatment done to the soil during this growing process is going to enrich it manifold. Deep-rooted vegetables improve the soil as special preparation has to be made for them. That means you have to go in for the cultivation except for spinach. Celery, onions and leeks need well-prepared ground and asparagus and rhubarb are permanent crops. That means these are going to be your main crops interspersed with short-term crops like spinach, – between different main crop sowings- which are going to be harvested from your land every year. Spinach is thus called a “catch” crop. This book is going to give you information on how best you can utilize the ground around you to grow organic vegetables for your family and also possibly for the organic market in your city. Remember for millenniums people have been using traditional organic farming methods for growing their vegetables. So it is time to come back to nature and say goodbye to artificial fertilizers and harmful chemical pesticides.

Book excerpt: If you want to grow healthy vegetables at home, but have hesitated because it seems too hard and time consuming, Organic Gardening for Everyone is your perfect hands-on guide—an “if I can do it, you can do it” case study that addresses your concerns and gets you started. Loaded with practical advice and step-by-step guidance, Organic Gardening for Everyone takes a very personal and friendly approach to a subject that can be intimidating. It is a first-class primer on organic vegetable gardening, and an inspirational story about how anyone can balance the rigors of gardening with the demands of a modern, family-oriented lifestyle. In 2012, a California mom decided to start an organic vegetable garden. But she went about it in an unusual way: she crowdsourced it by launching a YouTube channel under the name "CaliKim" and asking for help. And then she started planting. As questions came up, she turned to her viewers and subscribers and they replied with answers and advice. As she learned, her garden grew successfully—even in the hot, harsh California climate. Her expertise also grew, and now she answers many more questions than she asks and has become a very accomplished home gardener. And CaliKim has a great story to tell: growing healthy organic vegetables for your family is not difficult, even for today’s time-challenged lifestyles. She provides complete step-by-step information on growing the most popular edibles organically, and also gives sound advice on how to take on the challenges of balancing a hectic lifestyle with successful growing—and how to involve the whole family in the process. You'll be rewarded for your effort every time you place a plate of natural, organic vegetables on the family dinner table knowing exactly what they are, what is in them, and where they came from.
