This Is How I Do It

Description

Janet Kirbo grew the first of what has been many gardens at her home in Magazine, Arkansas almost 60 years ago. Being born at the beginning of the Great Depression, she was raised knowing the importance of being able to grow and preserve your own food for both nourishment and survival. Following in her parent’s and grandparent’s footsteps, she taught her children and grandchildren how to understand and respect how food is grown. The joy that gardening brings and her love for cooking for her family continues today. Written with folksy-charm, her “This Is How I Do It” garden journal will give the reader her step by step guide to planting, nurturing, harvesting, canning, preserving and cooking the bounty that is produced in her garden. Filled with beautiful color photographs, the reader can easily imagine the sights, sounds and smells of a garden in full bloom. Also included is a selection of her favorite recipes that continue to bring smiles to the faces of her family and friends.
