Description

In this updated 2nd edition of Southwest Fruit & Vegetable Gardening, you’ll find much-needed advice and practical tips on growing an edible garden, no matter which part of the southwestern US you call home.

Regardless of whether you’re tending an in-ground plot, a small container garden, or a series of raised beds, Southwest Fruit & Vegetable Gardening is an invaluable resource. You’ll find:

Detailed profiles of over 60 edible plants that thrive in the region’s distinctive growing conditions, including favorites like tomatoes, sweet potatoes, summer squash, hot peppers, and pomegranates—plus popular herbs
Information on soil preparation, starting seeds, fertilizer tips, and more

Gardening is all about enjoying nature. It is the perfect fun activity for kids, parents, and grandparents.

If you love to garden, Jacqueline Soule's book is a must read. It is written for gardening in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, but is adaptable to other regions. Even if vegetable gardening is not for you, this picturesque book has a treasure trove of information on beautiful trees and bushes.

Gardening is not just for spring and summer. The author shares a variety of vegetables and herbs that can be grown during the colder months. Souls provides a list of tools, soil information, a guide for picking plants and seeds. Additionally included are comprehensive tips on controlling pests, weeds, proper watering, and maintaining the plants. Soule instructs on growing gorgeous vegtables, herbs, nuts, and fruit in step-by-step detail. The book will be published March 15, 2022.
