Growing my own garden

I have never had a green thumb, but I wanted to give it another shot. My health needs me to eat more veggies. I found this audiobook to be easy to follow and loved that there is no use of pesticides. I did like how they broke down strategies in different climates, as in Oklahoma, we can have all four seasons in one day. Great guide.

I finally understand what my parents are talking about!

Growing up, my parents were always avid gardeners and I struggled to see the attraction. But as I've gotten older and gotten my own place I've started a bit of gardening myself. The only problem is, I was never very good at. After reading this book, I have a feeling that all that is about to change. All the stuff my parents talk about that I never understood before is suddenly much more clear. I feel like I know how to garden properly now, and have a clear direction of what I want to do with my garden. Overall, great book!

The Ultimate Handbook for a Thriving Garden

I’m not what you’d call a seasoned gardener, but this audiobook made me feel like I could grow anything! Living in a region with unpredictable weather, I’ve always struggled to keep plants alive, let alone thrive. This guide breaks everything down in a way that’s easy to follow, even for beginners like me. One of my favorite tips was about taking photos throughout the day to track sunlight—it completely changed how I planned my garden. The advice on organic pest control and companion planting was super helpful, and I loved the step-by-step raised bed instructions. The narrator’s voice was pleasant to listen to, and the pace was just right. If you’re looking to grow your own fruits and veggies without the guesswork, this audiobook is worth every second!

Not Just for Green Thumbs

You don’t need to be an expert to get something out of this, it’s super practical and full of stuff you can actually use right away. I liked how it didn’t just focus on one type of climate. You get real advice no matter where you live, which is rare. My favorite part? The section on extending the growing season. It gave me a whole new approach to my fall garden. Simple, helpful, and totally worth the read.

Green Thumb here I come

This was such a helpful listen. I’ve tried growing vegetables before, but honestly, it always felt like guesswork. This guide actually explains how to work with your climate and what to plant when. I did not realize that made such a big difference. I liked how it covers both warm and cold season stuff without being boring or too technical. I even tried a few tips with my tomatoes and herbs and saw a huge improvement. Super practical, and the way it’s explained made me feel like I could actually stick with it.

Finally, a gardening guide that gets it

I’ve tried getting into gardening before, but it always felt like info overload. This audiobook made everything click. The narrator has this chill, almost goofy tone that kept me hooked and the tips actually work. I’m in a weird climate, so hearing how to adapt planting for different seasons was huge. I’ve already got herbs sprouting and tomatoes on the way. Never thought I’d be that person excited about compost… but here we are. Definitely worth the listen.

great guide for sustainable living!!

I’ve been seeing a ton of sustainable and farm living content on my FYP lately, and this book totally fit the vibe. I’m living in an apartment, so gardening isn't really an option for me right now, but it’s always been my dream to live sustainably and grow my own food. The tips on growing organic fruits and vegetables in various climates are super practical, and I love how accessible the info feels. If you're into sustainability or just curious about gardening, this is a great listen!
