Читать книгу The 20-30 Something Garden Guide - Dee Nash - Страница 14

You don’t need a back or front yard to garden. You can garden anywhere. Begin with your balcony or patio. I’ve gardened wherever I’ve lived; it didn’t matter if it was a mobile home, an apartment or a house with a real backyard. I guarantee that when you bite into that first sun-ripened tomato or sauté your first homegrown poblano pepper, you will be filled with pride and joy. On top of that, your friends will be amazed. Trust me.

Although this chapter is about your first year of gardening, go ahead and skip ahead through the following chapters as you need to, or as the mood strikes you. You may have an outbreak of insects or disease before I can teach you about that, or perhaps you want to grow fruit, and this chapter doesn’t talk much about fruit. There’s no “right” way to progress with a garden, or with this book. Things come up. I have some favorite garden books that I enjoy reading cover to cover just for the pleasure of it. Maybe you’ll want to do that, too, before you ever open your first bag of potting mix.
