Gardening is easy: discover how you can grow a perfect vegetable garden, and enjoy fresh, organic food every day.

You don’t have a green thumb. You’ve never managed to keep a houseplant alive for more than two weeks. You don’t have enough gardening space.

If you’ve used any of these as a reason not to grow your own vegetable garden, you’ve been missing out.

Here’s the thing:

• Green thumb is a myth. The idea that some people are born with an innate ability to tend plants is absurd -- and totally fake.
• Gardening doesn’t take up that much space. You can grow a huge variety of vegetables on your balcony, or in a small patch of dirt in your backyard.
• As for the unfortunate houseplant massacre... Well, the plants didn’t die because you’re a natural plant slayer. You simply didn’t know what it takes to keep them alive.

You’ll often hear experienced gardeners talking about intuitive gardening, and how you need to have a natural affinity towards growing plants to have a great garden.

Nope, not true.

Successful gardening comes down to careful planning, intelligent planting choices, and simple maintenance.

Gardening is a skill, and skills can be developed. All it takes is a bit of enthusiasm and a passion for the outdoors... and a beginner-friendly gardening manual, of course.

What makes this particular guide different from all others is a single assumption: this book assumes you don’t know anything about gardening.

It will teach you everything.

From basic soil preparation to maintenance, composting, and climate zoning, you’ll learn everything you need to start growing organic, healthy food -- no matter what size space you’re working with.

So don’t stress about your lack of experience or previous gardening fails. Everyone has to start somewhere, and now you have the perfect opportunity to do so.

In Vegetable Gardening, you will discover:

• Techniques for choosing the right place for your garden based on your climate zone, water access and sun-shade ratio
• Tips on how to decide on the size of your garden, including mart solutions for making the most of a small gardening space (with a list of high-yield plants that don’t take up much space)
• A comprehensive guide on gardening soil: discover how to determine which type of soil you have, how to prep it for planting, and which plants grow best in a particular soil type
• Precise instructions for choosing which plants to grow in your garden (including mini-guides on growing season and starting seeds indoors)
• Tips on how to lay out your garden - discover which vegetables love to be neighbors, and which to keep far from one another to ensure the best growth (and a rich harvest!)
• Expert maintenance strategies for keeping your garden clean, healthy and pest-free
• Harvesting tips and tricks, including a guide on how to prepare your garden for the next season
• A complete list of plants to grow in both warm and cold areas

And much more.

Even if you’re not a complete beginner, you’ll want to take a peek inside this guide: you’ll discover some innovative gardening techniques... and you might finally find out why some of your plants refuse to cooperate, no matter how much care and time you give them.
