(A previous book of hers is a how-to manual for breeding your own veggie varieties.) The book is called, "The Resilient Gardener." It probably covers some of the things you have already learned and are learning now, but her emphasis is on reclaiming the knowledge, wisdom, and abilities needed to work WITH the land and cultivate food crops, ecosystems, and human communities that are resilient. She has worked with Seed Savers to bring back many disease-resistant and drought-resistant varieties of corn and beans, for example. The whole book blends realism with gentle humor and encourages the consideration of possibilities. There IS hope--and there is also action!MaineCelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318937035647123010noreply@blogger.com
