Do you like the idea of having an orchard right outside your window but have zero ideas of where you should start? While vegetables last a season or two in the garden, most fruits, shrubs, and trees live for 10 to 50 years or more. With a little planning and guidance, you will soon be biting into mellow fruits.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States.

beginner friendly
This book was very useful for a novice gardener like me to learn more about companion planting. It presents the information in a straightforward manner and provides valuable advice for maintaining a healthy garden, particularly when it comes to organic pest management. I appreciated the guidance for small gardens, but I would have preferred more illustrations or step-by-step instructions to make it easier to implement. While it is a good book, it has a bit too much textual content.
