(More customer reviews)In 1998 Janette Haase was a single parent living in a village near Kingston. She had a tiny front garden and no backyard, ye she was able plant enough vegetables to enable her to feed her family with what she could grow in a very limited space. In "From Seed to Table: A Practical Guide to Eating and Growing Green", Haase draws upon her experience and expertise as an organic farmer to demonstrates that eating locally grown seasonal food is superior in terms of health and economics to that which is offered by modern corporate farming mass food production methods. Organized as a month-by-month, 224-page, illustrated instructional guide, "From Seed to Table" shows how anyone can raise enough food in a small space to feed themselves and their families, with the additional benefits that what they eat will be more nutritious, economic, and environmentally friendly than the same foodstuffs being purchased at a chain-store style supermarket. A perfect instructional reference for the home gardener, and enhanced with the inclusion of some excellent recipes, "From Seed to Table: A Practical Guide to Eating and Growing Green" truly lives up to the promise of its title and is highly recommended for personal and community library gardening instructional reference collections.
