Video: Vegetable Garden Pest Handbook
For the last month or so, I’ve been able to give you tiny peeks into my new book, The Vegetable Garden Pest Handbook. Your response has been so upbeat and heartwarming. Well, I can finally show you exactly what’s in my book and I have a special announcement about it, too!
In my newest video (at bottom of post), I take you on a tour of my book — chapter by chapter — so you can see all of the things it encompasses. But the cool announcement is that starting today, everyone who pre-orders my book will receive bonus content that isn’t in the book and you can’t find anywhere else: “Susan’s Top Tips for the Vegetables Everyone Loves to Grow!”
In it, you’ll find helpful advice and new insights into growing artichokes, beans, carrots, corn, garlic, leeks, onions, peas, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, squash (both summer and winter), and tomatoes. What’s more, I’ve included lists of my favorite, best-performing varieties for each of these types of crops. There’s even information on soil preparation and the oh-so-important step of hardening-off seedlings before you plant them out in the garden.
The Vegetable Garden Pest Handbook will be published in April 2021, by Cool Springs Press.
There are two question I’ve been asked a few times:
1. Is the book geared toward beginning gardeners? I can happily reply that I designed it for all levels of gardeners. My goal was to share exactly what gardeners need to know, without getting too “sciency.” Everything is very understandable and my solutions are easy to apply to your own situation.
2. Where can I pre-order your book? You can pre-order it at your local independent bookstore or online. For online sources, please go to the Books page on my website. I have compiled a list of sources and each of the links goes directly to my book, just to keep things simple.
And I’ll throw in one more question, since you’ll be wondering:
3. How do I get the bonus content for pre-ordering? All you have to do is email a copy of your pre-order confirmation to me (Susan@susansinthegarden.com) and I’ll happily send a link to the content right back to you. Easy peasy!
OK, here’s the video:
