### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice variety to this book
  

*by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020*

Variety goes beyond just gardening to being resilient on your land.Example- My favorite quote:“When you first move to the countryside, accept all presents joyfully. This person’s pie. That person’s bushel of apples after they’ve just been harvested. Someone offers to help you get in your firewood. Another offers to take care of your kids while you go to town. They are showing off their skills and meeting you with expressions of goodwill. In addition, as your new neighbors, they are trying to work you into their trade and labor-exchange network. You need to do your part. Figure out what you can share, what you can produce extra of, and what skills you have (or can develop) that are worthy of sharing. You share the delights of the good things you have in life. Part of the good things others have comes back to you.“

    I've read and reread The Resilient Gardener multiple times.
  

*by G***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2021*

Excellent in many ways, this book teaches some interesting and important tips for growing food for self-sufficiency. I'm especially intrigued by her ideas for potatoes, corn, squash, and beans. If I could only have the fertilizing and pest control benefits of funny, adorable ducks without their poisonous-to-me product or, perish the thought, their meat, I would be in heaven. Supposing the homesteading/gardening stars ever align for me, I'll take the bits I like from Deppe, Dowding, Coleman, Stout, Ralph, Hemenway, and Eayre-Fryer, mix them up, and come up with a pretty, peaceful, productive, protected place that will feed my stomach, senses, and spirit. However, as with children and long-term goals, imaginary and paper gardens rarely go as planned. A girl can dream (and read); can't she? If you love the idea of gardening for self-reliance, you should absolutely add this book, plus those from the authors above, to your library.

    Very good book for preppers; how to grow survival foods after TEOTWAWKI
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2016*

This is a fine book, especially if you are a gardener in the Pacific Northwest as Carol is. Carol explains clearly why gardeners need to select open pollinated varieties that are suitable for growth in the microclimate the reader lives in.  Unfortunately the book tells you what open pollinated varieties works for her but kinda leaves you hanging if you live elsewhere.  In this regard the book is a call to action to get off your butts and start experimenting with regional varieties that will grow well in your area, before TEOTWAWKI.The book focuses on four survival crops; corm, beans, squash/pumpkin and potatoes. These are crops that have high yields and also STORE WELL.  One crop Carol left out IMHO is cabbage which historically has been a long storage crop and is easily preserved as sauerkraut.I have mixed feelings about deducting a star for that particular omission however, the corn section is mostly about open pollinated varieties which she has bred herself but the seeds are extremely hard to acquire. Based on these two deficiencies, I finally decided that four stars was more appropriate than five.That being said, this is still a very good book and if you have food allergies or a prepper, I'd say this book is a "must have" on your bookshelf
