Written for women with little time to spare, this plain-spoken manual covers planning the garden, hotbeds, cold frames and flats, sowing seed in the open ground, transplanting, and choosing tools. Bennett gives exact advice, down to trenching long tomato plants and forking old manure into the hills.
Much of its advice still works, which makes it a pleasure for gardeners curious about how their grandmothers grew. Download the free EPUB.
