Book Giveaway Contest: Sugar Snaps and Strawberries
Posted by Degan Walters on Friday, March 18th, 2011
Thought you had to give up your garden to have an urban address? In Sugar Snaps And Strawberries: Simple Solutions for Creating Your Own Small-Space Edible Garden, Andrea Bellamy (with photos by Foodist Jackie Connelly!) will walk you through how to grow your own edible urban garden – whether it be on a balcony or in a tiny plot.
It’s a great book, full of photos and helpful tips. And we have a copy of Sugar Snaps and Strawberries to give away to our readers! Just tell us in the comments what is the most interesting thing you’ve grown – or would like to grow.
Stay tuned for an interview with Andrea on Foodists.ca and you can attend her launch party in Vancouver at Barbara Jo’s Books to Cooks on March 28, 2011 at 6 PM. $36 gets you into the launch party as well as a copy of the book.
I don’t know if this is interesting or not, but my favourite thing to grow is Kale. I am so in love with it lately – I would devote practically all of my available garden space over to it!
The most interesting thing on my patio garden last year was black tomatoes. This year I’m growing a seed packet of “assorted greens” – I’m excited to see what comes up!
I’ve always been limited with growing space so in the past I’ve stuck with tomatoes, mixed greens and herbs. I’d love this year to find a way to grow pole beans and/or mini cukes for pickling.
I’ve done tomatoes and peppers. I’d like to try more root vegetables and also some corn, since I’ve got the space to do so.
Yeah! Excited to be celebrating this :)
I have always wanted to grow our own pumpkins for halloween but so far have had no luck, so much for them being easy!
Congrats to thepricklypinecone, who won this copy of Sugar Snaps & Strawberries.
