If you like gardening, and growing your own food, this book could be for you.
Gardening and growing food, like writing, is a passion of mine, so I put the two together. I turned my gardening journal, the notes I made as 2025 progressed, into a book.
Hands In The Dirt — Notes From a Vegetable Garden, is the end result.
Here's the introduction.
Hands In The Dirt is about a vegetable garden, but it is about more than just growing food. It plots my progress through the gardening year, 2025. The planning stage, the Great British weather, learning from mistakes, and slowly building confidence in what the garden can provide.
It journals my attempt to be as self-sufficient for as long as possible, as season by season, the garden reveals its lessons.
Along the way, the small details that define a garden, and the patience needed from slow growth are revealed. From early planning, seed sowing, spring optimism, summer maintenance, autumn harvests, and winter reflection, it records the practical realities of working toward greater self-sufficiency.
Rather than offering rigid instruction, Hands In The Dirt, tells a story of food growing as it actually happens. There are hints and tips, but it is also about observation and persistence. As the year passes, it captures the rhythm of tending crops, giving notes on what worked, and what didn’t.
In the garden, there is always something new to learn.
So, whether you garden a large plot or a few containers, the ups and downs of gardening life will be familiar. Written for all levels of gardening experience, Hands In The Dirt is a reminder that gardening success is built slowly, one season and one lesson at a time.
Available as an e-book, it can be downloaded from Amazon. And now you don't need a kindle to read it. It's available as an epub or PDF to be read on any ereader.
If you are a member of Kindle Unlimited, it is also available there.
