""Homesweet Homegrown" is a clever and refreshing harvest of
farm-to-table methods. With vim and balsamic vinegar, Robyn Jasko
has written a pocket guide for the well-rounded 21st century
yeoman." --Tim Stark, proprietor, Eckerton Hill Farm and author,
"Heirloom: Notes From An Accidental Tomato Farmer"
""Homesweet Homegrown" is an extremely helpful handbook that reads
like a primer of lessons learned from garden-tending
grandparents--insightful, informative, and maybe most importantly,
honest. (Not to mention, just reading the recipes toward the back
of the book made my mouth water in anticipation of the upcoming
harvest.) With this by your side and a bit of good weather, you'll
be enjoying the fruits of your labor soon enough." --Alexa Fornoff,
Assistant Editor, "Readymade Magazine "
"From seed starting to home canning and everything in-between
"Homesweet Homegrown" by Robyn Jasko is the perfect guide for new
gardeners who want to grow and eat everything from their own
gardens. Plus, it's great for seasoned green thumbs in search of a
handy reference that covers a myriad of topics!" --Jere & Emilee
Gettle, Founders of Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company
"Robyn makes planting and growing your own food so dead-simple,
friendly and unassuming that even this black-thumbed gardener is
encouraged to think she "Can, Can, Can." With instructions for
making DIY planters and irrigation, designs for upcycling old
furniture into gardening stations, recipes for creating homemade
organic plant sprays, charts listing dollars-and-cents breakdowns
of homegrown versus store-bought produce, and page-by-page growing
guides by fruit or vegetable, this book is literally worth its
weight in gold--or, rather, golden beets. Not to mention the
satisfaction and bragging rights." --Melissa Massello,
founder/editor of "Shoestring Magazine"
"The best book for learning the skilled resilience of old-school
living in the modern world! Homesweet Homegrown teaches the lost
art and science of crafting a hand-made life." --Alexandra
Jamieson, author, "Vegan Cooking For Dummies" and "Living Vegan For
Dummies"
"This warmly written, sweetly illustrated little book is as
exhaustive as it is friendly. Robyn covers absolutely everything
you need to prepare yourself for a life of cheap, fresh, delicious
food." --Raleigh Briggs, author, "Make Your Place"
