A simple, thorough, well-written guide

I grabbed this book after my tomatoes got demolished by pests last summer – talk about a gardening reality check! Who knew my lonely tomato plants were basically sending out an all-you-can-eat invitation to every bug in the neighborhood? The Three Sisters method changed my tiny backyard plot completely. Now my beans are climbing corn stalks like they're nature's trellis, and my squash is keeping the weeds in check below. My neighbors keep asking about my "secret" – turns out it's all about playing matchmaker with your plants! Even my apartment-dwelling daughter is using these tips on her balcony garden. This isn't just another gardening book – it's like having a master gardener whispering ancient secrets in your ear.
