Debra Johnson has restored my faith in gardening. I tried once and had disastrous results, but Ms. Johnson’s book offers some great tips that I can use to protect my plants from pests, to prevent over-watering and under-watering, and decide what types of plants are best to start with. The most useful information Ms. Johnson shares is determining the fertility of your soil by conducting a simple experiment to analyze the soil contents in the area you designated for your garden. This information increases the chances for having a garden where you have fruits and vegetables healthy and suitable for picking. I was also pleased that she includes several references that will provide additional information on all of the topics she covered. Most of all, I love how Ms. Johnson told her story through the memory of her grandmother showing us her love, enthusiasm, and dedication to farming through these special memories.
