There is nothing better than a freshly picked apple or raspberry from your own backyard and yet many homeowners lack the resources or the necessary gardening acumen to effectively plant and harvest their own fruit. While some fruits, like apples, grow in almost any climate (as many as 35 of 50 states providing perfect conditions), others like blackberries and blueberries are incredibly hard to grow without the right soil, weather, and care. This book will guide every man and woman out there who has ever wanted to grow their own crop of fruits and berries or who has tried and failed. From the simplest fruit tree to the most fickle berry bush, this book will be your one and only guide. You will learn how to select your fruits and berries of choice, using a combination of climate information that matches the best possible bushes, trees, and vines to your home and how these plants will grow there. You will learn how to maintain your plants in your climate with the right sunlight, location, soil, and fertilizer and what each different kind of fruit or berry needs to be most effective. You will learn the planting conditions and the maintenance that each fruit or berry needs, from pruning and picking, to maintaining a pest free environment around your plants. Starting with the most basic aspects of your planting sequence, you will learn everything possibly needed to grow and have your very own fruits and berries every year. Additionally, the top gardeners around have contributed, through interviews, their own tips and tricks to effectively growing and maintaining the lives of your new fruit and berry trees and bushes. With this book, any prospective gardener can start enjoying the sweet fruits of their labor.

	Home Vegetable Gardening: A Complete and Practical Guide To The Planting And Care Of All Vegetables, Fruits And Berries Worth Growing For Home Use (Timeless Classic Books) by: Frederick Frye Rockwell publisher: CreateSpace, published: 2010-08-13 ASIN: 1453756566 sales rank: 350877 price: $12.95 (new)
"With some, the home vegetable garden is a hobby; with others, especially in these days of high prices, a great help. There are many in both classes whose experience in gardening has been restricted within very narrow bounds, and whose present spare time for gardening is limited. It is as "first aid" to such persons, who want to do practical, efficient gardening, and do it with the least possible fuss and loss of time, that his book is written. In his own experience, the author has found that garden books, while seldom lacking in formation, often do not present it in the clearest possible way. It has been his aim to make the present volume first of all practical, and in addition, though comprehensive, simple and concise. If it helps to make the way of the home gardener more clear and definite, its purpose will have been accomplished." We really love reading this book and we're sure you will too. Written in 1911, it is still relevant today while being of historical interest. Above is the very quaint cover. This vintage book is chock full of all the information you need to create your own successful vegetable garden.
