"The first instalment in the Guides for the Prairie Gardener series. In this Q&A-style resource on prairie vegetable gardening certified master gardeners Sheryl and Janet cover planning to planting, irrigation to cultivation, and troubleshooting. They cover all your most common questions about cultivation practices, preventing damage from frost, flood, and drought, harvest and storage, and specific questions about the veggies you love to grow. Whether you've just acquired your first garden space, or you've been growing vegetables for decades, gardeners are always learning and experimenting, building on experience gained on their own or from others."-- Provided by publisher.
