“If you’ve ever wanted to get more productivity out of your food garden, look no further."
- Joe Lamp’l, Growing A Greener World
Grow your dream garden.
From her 1/4-acre food garden in zone 4a, Meg McAndrews Cowden grows enough to feed her family of four nearly year-round using simple, modern methods. Extending the growing season on both ends, including harvesting deep into winter, her methods have inspired tens of thousands worldwide. Her devoted followers relish the vivid photography and reflections from the garden alongside tutorials on soil blocking and recyclable pots, and fully subscribe to her planting guides and seed suggestions.
More than anything, Meg’s work reminds us, everyday, about the unmitigated joy one finds from growing your own food, the peace you feel digging in the earth, and the sense of unparalleled pride from growing a pepper you could never buy in the store.
Get more out of your growing space.
Carefully planned, continuous seed sowing will provide a steady stream of fresh food from early spring through late fall. You’ll find detailed, seasonal sowing charts to inform your garden planning, so you can grow more anywhere, regardless of your climate.
Drawing inspiration from succession in natural landscapes.
Meg teaches you how to implement lessons from these dynamic systems in your home garden. You’ll learn how to layer succession across your perennial and annual crops; maximize the early growing season; determine the sequence to plant and replant in summer; and incorporate annual and perennial flowers to benefit wildlife and ensure efficient pollination.
