by Jess Krueger<\/a><\/span> <\/h2>\n

Fireweed, as the full title implies, is all about introducing your kids to plants. It’s about teaching young children the joy of gathering edibles, and making them into candies, teas, jellies, or even medicines. There’s tips for going on plant walks, and suggestions for good introductory plants like ginger, mint, and marshmallow. There are recipes for prickly pear crisp, catnip tea, and simple fermented herbal infusions. The authors conduct a couple interviews with parents about their experiences sharing plants with their children. Overall, this zine is really inspiring.  https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/zines\/2836\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Sandra, the author, also spends alot of time thinking about her garden, the earth, and how to make it a better place for everyone.

Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food In Hard Times<\/h1>\n

by Steve Solomon<\/a><\/span> <\/h2>\n
\n

Gardening When It Counts helps readers rediscover traditional low-input gardening methods to produce healthy food. Designed for readers with no experience and applicable to most areas in the English-speaking world except the tropics and hot deserts, this book shows that any family with access to 3-5,000 sq. ft. of garden land can halve their food costs using a growing system requiring just the odd bucketful of household waste water, perhaps two hundred dollars worth of hand tools, and about the same amount spent on supplies – working an average of two hours a day during the growing season. https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/2721\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
