Backyard Farming: Fruit Trees, Berries & Nuts

Loves these kind of books they are great

Thank you!

Backyard Farming: Fruit Trees, Berries and Nuts, is Kim Pezza's latest book in her Backyard Farming series. it is a great overview book to introduce potential backyard grower to growing Fruit trees, berries and nuts. The book combines some scientific details with practical guidance on how to plant and care for your plants. Kim Pezza also includes information on the most common diseases and problems for the respective plant/tree. The book is divided into 8 chapters. The chapters focus on the history of cultivating fruit trees, the basics, propagation, container growing (not everything takes a lot of space), growing: fruits, berries, nuts, and tropical varieties,and finally harvesting and preserving.Rather than just stay at the higher discussion level, Ms Pezza provides useful information on specific types of fruits, nuts and berries. She hits all the main varieties. She explains when to plant, prune, how to care for and finally how to harvest.The book is a great overview book. If you're looking to become a backyard gardener, Backyard Farming: Home Harvesting: Canning and Curing, Pickling and Preserving Vegetables, Fruits and Meats is a great book to start with.Now for the legal language: I won this book as part of the goodreads.com reader giveaway. that said, I'll probably buy more of her Backyard Farming series.

I like her books because they give me a good starting point to ask questions from. This isn't a how-to manual this is just an overview. What I like to do is go to other sources to answer all my questions and get more specific information and write it all in the books margins and note section. Pictures are weak, but for the price it's a good buy.

This book had all the information I hoped for. Amazing delivery time.
