This is a Review and Give Away of Gardening With Little Miss Green Fingers by Anja Koch! Read my Review of this wonderful E-Book and scroll to the end to find out how TEN Lucky Winners Will Receive a Copy!
************
Living in the North West with its gloriously temperate climate really lends itself well to gardens of all types - and for the cooking enthusiast like myself - especially culinary gardens! I was thrilled last year when I was planting our first herb garden full of oregano, rosemary, thyme, and many more delicious herbs that I couldn't wait to start cooking with! Much to my dismay however, I made several rookie mistakes, and ended up with my Rosemary taking over completely but having no idea how to dry them, and everything else being either withered or fried by too much sun. Let's not even talk about my tomatoes which didn't ripen until October!!
Thankfully this year will be much different now that I am well armed with Anja Koch's e-book Gardening With Little Miss Green Fingers! Honestly, anyone who is planning on having herbs at all this year needs to have this book on hand as a resource! Anja focuses on "container gardening" which works great for small spaces, as well as anyone who wants a "window sill" garden so you can just grab herbs planted in your kitchen while you're cooking! What I appreciated most about Anja's book is that it's every day language, and every day gardening. This book isn't necessarily for the person who wants to win the town contest on best tomatoes. But, perfect for the everday person who just wants their tomatoes to be as delicious as possible without a degree in farming!
With this e-book Anja breaks down the 17 most popular culinary herbs and how to grow them, when to water and which can be planted together. I know from my own garden last year one of the things I was regretting a little bit is that it's all so green! Which is nice, but some splash of color is always welcome too! Anja breaks down a few easy and edible flowers that can be grow along side herbs to not only make your garden a bit more aesthetically pleasing but also can be the perfect addition to a cake or dessert to take to a get together.
Watering has always been a mystery to me! However, with Anja's ebook you are able to take the guess work out of it. Also, somewhere I had gone wrong in the past was placing very "thirsty" herbs in along with "dry" plants. Since you'll never water well enough to make both groups happy at one time, who whole pot goes down the pot!
I really enjoyed this ebook and am so happy to share it with my readers! It's the perfect book for anyone who is either brand new to culinary gardening or wants to take their garden to the next level. What I've come to learn is that you don't need to know everything about every herb you want to grow - you just have to have a great resource on hand when you're planting it! It's always so gratifying to get your hands in the soil and feel like you're creating something!
