Wasn’t expecting the Scriptures

But the book was good. I didn’t mind the scripture, but some of it was wildly out of context, reshaped to fit the narrative. Old lady note aside, it was a good read!

In depth learning

I’ve read many books, listened to podcasts and watched YouTube in regard to gardening. This has been thus far the most in depth and informative book yet.

Thank you!

Best gardening book I have ever listen to.

This book was very self explanatory and full of great details. I love it so much that I play it all over again the following day .

Mechanical

The narrator sounded mechanical often missing inflection points and timing. There was a name but it really sounded like a text to audio machine

The author was repetitive and had material that just did not belong. The level of detail varied enormously throughout. Despite that there were some good nugets

Inspirational

Melissa has awakened the inner desire from within my wife and I to become self sufficient. We have 5 mostly unused acres that can now be put to use for an enormous benefit. After watching many of Melissa’s uTube videos it became obvious of her in-depth knowledge and just how passion driven she is about home-steading. There’s so much to offer in her books and videos that I’m continually gaining an abundance of wonderful information from her material. I’m glad that I stumbled upon her uTube channel!

Experience-led, humble, and insightful author

Loved the practical guidance and that the author was not ashamed to share her faith. Gave me the confidence to pursue planting blueberries and fruit trees. Worth a second listen.

Informative

I love that it’s condensed, yet very f ull of information.

I do not like the scriptures, as I’m not religious. But they aren’t incredibly intrusive or all consuming. Her relationship with religion does not impede on her ability to share the sheer volume of information she has to give, and I am incredibly grateful for that.

The performance was really good too.

Religious

I just wanted the gardening info without the religion. Bible passages at the beginning of every chapter. If you've never gardened before and are Christian, this will be a great book for you. Otherwise, the info presented was very basic at best and I didn't appreciate the constant religious references.
