I’ve tried growing fruit trees and shrubs before, but I always seemed to miss something—wrong timing, bad soil, who knows? This book finally broke it down in a way that made sense.

A continuation of helpful ideas

Kent Jameson’s Grinning Gardener 2 is a continuation of the helpful ideas presented in the Grinning Gardener 1, but this time, with an emphasis on nuts and fruit (among many other things). It shines a light on produce that I would love to include in my garden. And not only do we have an emphasis on a variety of produce, but we’re met with powerful strategy for keeping them growing during any season. We’re currently looking at getting some fruit trees, due to the information in this book, and we’re excited to start implementing the lovely planting schedule Jameson has provided. Exciting times!

So excited for this year's harvest!

I’ve always wanted a thriving garden but felt clueless about where to start. This guide completely changed the game for me. The step-by-step tips on growing fruit and nut trees were super practical—I already have a few smaller trees that have started producing some fruit over the last couple of years. Based on the advice and helpful tips in this book I am ready to plan my growing season and plant care starting this Spring! I also loved the advice on organic pest control. Highly recommend it!

Confessions of a reformed plant killer

After accidentally murdering three fruit trees and creating what my neighbors politely called an "interesting" landscape, I needed help. So, I approached this audiobook with desperate hope and it exceeded my expectations. The climate-specific advice saved my new apple trees from the fate of their predecessors, and the pest control section helped me wage war against aphids without poisoning the neighborhood cats.
The companion planting strategies transformed my chaotic yard into something that almost looks intentional. My fruit trees are actually fruiting (shocking!), and the perennials keep coming back (even more shocking!).
This book helps you create a garden that thrives despite your previous reputation as a plant hospice. If it helped me, it will help anyone!
