This book details gardening in four seasons and the vegetables and herbs you can grow in your home garden.

Since ancient times, humans have grown food on farms and lived a self-sufficient life, but with the development of cities and the creation of supermarkets, it became more convenient.

However, the importance of home gardening and gardening is being reconsidered in modern times as more and more food products use chemicals and additives to meet the demands of mass production.

This book is very informative and provides step-by-step instructions on how to garden.

I've only been gardening for a couple of years, so I wanted to read some books that wasn't too overwhelming or too difficult to understand. This book breaks down the year by the seasons, and details the things you need to get done, when to plant, sow, and transplant, and so much more! I would highly recommend it to beginner gardeners and even intermediate gardeners because there's always something new to learn.
