The audio version of this post starts out raving about three great reads from Chelsea Green Publishing including my favorite read of 2021 so far Leah Penniman\u2019s amazing memoir about Soul Fire Farm which combines African American history - the real story with farm techniques every gardener and market farmer should know as well as some religion/spiritual stories, songs to sing, advice on education and working with students and sooo much more! Just love this book so much!

Then there\u2019s Jesse Frosts book coming out July 20th and Alan Bergo\u2019s boom out now! Lots of amazing reads from my favorite publisher (now that Rodale\u2019s is gone they moved from 2nd to number 1)
Then I talk about what\u2019s needed in the garden this summer and all the lessons I\u2019ve learned with this landscaping job I took on. The amazing thing with this job is how confident I am with exactly what this person should be doing but I have lived in Montana for a long time now and I definitely know the new homeowner learning curve!
Especially from a gardeners perspective! Start small! This year I\u2019ve probably killed almost as many plants as I\u2019ve grown!
I\u2019m still eating on this arugula from spring
Mike picked these yummy radishes yesterday

He was so eloquent and just, I hope I did him justice.
So I have three Chelsea green publishing books to talk about today. So there's Alan's book. That's just amazing. Jessie frost books coming out July 20th. So you probably will hear some replace a interviews. And then I've also been reading Leah Penniman farming while black, which is gotta be one of my favorite books that I have read in 2021.
She just like cheeks, the whole, she's got black history in there that it's like a must read for every student teacher, just like so many things the way she puts it all together. She's got inspiration for when you're in your garden. She talks about her education center. She talks about like, everything you need to know on how to grow a tomato from start plant a curate, like what your soils should look like, like how far they should be spaced out what tools you're going to need, how to deal with interns.
Like anything you possibly want to know about gardening farming. If you're a market farmer, you've got to get her book, just support her. I'm. So in love with, I wish I would've got farming while black, when I first interviewed her, I had no idea somebody...
