Publisher Description

Do you want to grow your own food? From the author of the award-winning Little Farm in the Foothills homesteading memoir comes a friendly, down-to-earth little guide for starting and maintaining a thriving food garden. In Little Farm in the Garden, Susan Colleen Browne shares the evolution of her own homestead garden with warmth and humor. Whether you're starting with a pot, a small plot, or dedicated garden beds, she covers how to begin growing your own food with basic nut-and-bolts like selecting crops, raising food without chemicals, and creating healthy soil.

If you've read Susan's Little Farm memoirs, this booklet can be a handy addition to the homesteading experiences she's shared in her books. But this also works as a stand-alone manual for simple ways to approach creating your own food supply, focusing on easy-to-grow vegetables, herbs, and fruit, and building a balanced garden for the long-term. 

In uncertain times, producing your own food supply can give you confidence in the future—and as gardening fans know, a sense of pleasure and accomplishment. Wherever you are in your gardening journey, Little Farm in the Garden offers a lively, heartfelt approach for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages!

New Book, #4 of the Series! Little Farm in the Henhouse: A True-Life Tale of Hen-Keeping Homestead Style is now on Pre-Order... It's the story of the joys and challenges of keeping a backyard flock of laying hens--with tips and techniques for healthy, happy chickens!

If you like fiction with a gardening theme, you might look at Susan's novel, The Galway Girls—the story has some intriguing tie-ins with her real-life experiences in Book 2 of the Little Farm series, Little Farm Homegrown!
