Why Garden? Homegrown vegetables taste much better than anything you can buy because they are fresh—you can harvest them at their peak ripeness and eat them within minutes. Plus, you can grow as many special varieties of your favorite vegetables as you like, types not available in stores. Growing your own means controlling exactly what kinds of pesticides or other additives go into your produce. Plus, you can save a lot of money. Within The Farmer’s Wife’s Guide to Growing a Great Garden and Eating From it, Too!, Barbara Doyen, a real farmer’s wife, gives detailed instruction for growing a wide variety of delicious vegetables, along with terrific recipes. From the domestic to the exotic, the Farmer’s Wife’s expertise is always thoroughly explained and calculated to bring out the best in whatever plant she is working with.
