Celebrate Earth Day with these Springy Selections

As the weather gets warmer and the frosts of winter

recede, it is the time to start thinking about getting

the garden planted. We have just the books to

get you inspired and growing delicious fruits and

vegetables this year. Even for the most urban of city

dwellers, growing a garden is not out of reach. Just

check out the second updated edition of the classic

All New Square Foot Gardening: the Revolutionary

Way to Grow More in Less Space by Mel Bartholomew. Bartholomew’s

multi-million volume selling book guides gardeners new and

experienced through the process of growing a lot of produce, even in

the smallest of spaces.

For those with a little more room and the inclination

to expand beyond just a small backyard garden, take

a look at The Nourishing Homestead: One Back-

to-the-Land Family's Plan for Cultivating Soil, Skills,

and Spirit by husband and wife team Ben and Penny

Hewitt. The Hewitts’ book provides a template for

self-sufficiency that includes not only growing food,

but also animal husbandry, foraging for wild foods

and creating a self-sustaining lifestyle.

Finally, after you’ve grown all those delicious

fruits and vegetables, what do you do with them?

Luckily, award-winning chef and southern native

Hugh Acheson provides recipes for a wide range of

produce from all four seasons in his cookbook The

Broad Fork. So get planting, get harvesting and get

eating—with a little help from your library!

Adult Poetry ContestApr 1-Apr 30

The bread loaves are resting in

their pans,

Their tops taut bellies,

Pale in the dim, early kitchen.

I drape a striped towel

Over yeast’s work,

the fullness of promise.

But I left the cutting board,

the red-handled knife,

my own breakfast,

to dash down these lines

about rising dough in grey light.

The apple will wait, contained,

slick, cold in its uncut ruddy skin,

until I come back.

These words won’t. Uninked they

would drift

like the faint scent of baking

out the open window

not even a trail of crumbs

to show where the poem went.
