Designing the New Kitchen Garden: An American Potager Handbook

Designing the New Kitchen Garden: An American Potager Handbook Review

Most gardeners know how rewarding it is to harvest ripe, sun-warmed tomatoes or pungent herbs straight from the garden. But those pleasures can be multiplied a hundredfold by creating a garden that is not only productive, but also a beautiful, well-integrated part of the home landscape. In this handsome volume, Jennifer Bartley shows how the traditional features of the classic kitchen garden, or potager, can be adapted to contemporary American needs and conditions. The book is informed by her conviction that the nurturing, preparing, and eating of fresh, home-grown vegetables contributes enormously both to our ties with the natural world and our ties to each other. Copiously illustrated with photographs and with the author's delightful watercolors, Designing the New Kitchen Garden offers the perfect blend of inspiration and practical guidance.

BUILD YOUR OWN OUTDOOR KITCHEN (Outdoor Entertainment) Review

OUTDOOR LIVING-THE GREAT EXPERIENCE:

There are many articles and books I have found on the building of outdoor kitchens (also known as “summer kitchens”). You can find lots of free information on the web. But with all the information scattered out there, and all the confusion I see in that information, I wrote this book in the hopes of bringing you a concise, step-by-step guide to doing what I’ve done for OVER 20 YEARS – Build the best looking, most well protected and least expensive outdoor kitchen available today!!

When I say “least expensive”, what I mean is the best quality you can get for the least amount of money. There are many
people on the web and in bookstores telling you their idea of how to build the best outdoor kitchen, and I have built all types of kitchens with all types of materials. I have installed wood structures, block, poured concrete, pergolas,
firepits, firetables, fireplaces and on and on. I wrote this book because I KNOW THE SECRET – THE MAGIC FORMULA that will give you a product with the maximum longevity, best appliances and easiest construction you can possibly imagine, all boiled down into one simple procedure called, “BUILD YOUR OWN OUTDOOR KITCHEN” - Simple and instructive.

I am not trying to say that building an outdoor kitchen is easy and simple. There are a lot of details involved with it and as with any home improvement project, requires Planning, Diligence, Study and Planning (did I mention Planning?).

If you follow my specific instructions in this book, you will be able to construct an outdoor kitchen that will be beautiful, useful and will last you a lifetime – and at the same time SAVE YOU MONEY!

YOU CAN DO THIS! You can be proud that you have taken the first step in this do-it-yourself project. Through this book, I will be r ight there with you till the end of the project, guiding you, assisting you and helping you fulfill your dreams for your outdoor living space. I have tried to answer all your questions in advance and believe the answers you may seek along the way are in this book.

This is the first book of an intended series to help you build a total entertainment area for your house: Outdoor kitchen, Fireplace with TV enclosure, Firepit, Bar and other products to enhance your OUTDOOR LIVING EXPERIENCE.

Aberdeen Seedling. Scotch Scarlet. Prolific Pine. Fruit large, conical and pointed, with a very short neck, dark red, hairy ; the early fruits assume a cockscomb shape where the plants are luxuriant. Seeds yellow, deeply embedded, between ridged intervals. Flesh firm, pale scarlet, with a core ; the flavour is not rich, it is however agreeable, and best when fully ripe. It is much admired by many, and even thought by some superior to the Old Scarlet. 59. Scone Scarlet. Hort. Trans. Vol. vi. p. 170. Fruit of a moderate size, round, without a neck, of a light shining red on the upper side, paler on the other, hairy. Seeds dark brown, deeply embedded, with round intervals.
