Live the Good Life
Live the Good Life, a Tribute to Scott & Helen Nearing
Live the Good Life, a Tribute to Scott & Helen Nearing is a book that I read in high school. The Nearings example of living a simple, holistic lifestyle has stayed with me to this day. In fact I occasionally go back and re-read my dogeared copy of their book just to remind myself of how much is possible, even when things seem impossible.
Garden Seeds, Grow Your Own
Grow Your Own Garden Seeds This lens is somewhat a work in progress. It gives you some bare bones information on how to grow and save your own garden seeds with resources to find out more. Rain Water Catchment
Rainwater Catchment of course is not really about organic gardening, but many gardeners of all stripes try to harvest rainwater to use in their gardens during rainless periods or as a supplement to purchased water. This lens will give you some ideas and resources from small and cheap to larger and more elaborate.

How Much Land Does It Take To Grow Your Own Food? explores the number of square feet needed to grow your own food. Many people, when they say they grow all their own food are just referring to their vegetables and never think that they could be growing their own grain to make their bread or to grow their own meat, milk and eggs. So if becoming self sufficient in the food department is one of your goals, this lens has some answers and good references for you. The Benefits of Organic Gardening

- We started growing organically when we moved to the farm we live on, about 3 months ago. I still get excited when new crops germinate. I propagate a lot from slips and cuttings, both flowers and veggies :)

Amazon Spotlight Personal Review
Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long
Amazon Price: $11.95 (as of 06/03/2012)
Elliot Coleman's Four Season Harvest is one of the most inspiring books I have in my gardening library. Elliot lives and farms in Maine, where summer is short and winter is cold. Elliot shows you all sorts of easy and simple systems to enable you to have a year round garden harvest, no matter where you live. Hoop houses, cold frames, row covers are all covered along with all the garden crops you can grow year round. Especially helpful are the charts showing you when to plant for winter harvesting depending on your frost dates. Love this book!
