Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Michelle Shephard, Tiffany Vergon, Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks, Charles Aldarondo and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Home Vegetable Gardening" by F. F. Rockwell is a practical guidebook written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide clear and concise methods for planting and caring for vegetables, fruits, and berries, particularly tailored for the home gardener. It addresses the growing interest in self-sufficiency in food production during an era when prices were rising and emphasizes the importance of cultivating one’s own produce. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the evolving perspective on gardening, from its once-mysterious nature to a more accessible endeavor. It outlines the author's intent to provide practical advice for beginners and advocates for understanding the work involved in gardening. The initial chapters suggest that success in gardening comes not from the quantity of garden books available but from structured information that clearly presents garden-making principles. Rockwell emphasizes preparation and care, detailing how to choose suitable garden plots, manage soil, and employ effective techniques for planting, all while encouraging readers not to be discouraged by initial failures or the labor involved.
