The Comic Book Guide to Growing Food

Praise

“This small book . . . is a delight. The art is wonderfully clear and realistic . . . the characters have character, keeping the reader engaged with the plot (oh, not a deliberate pun!). This will be a great book for new gardeners.”—Comics Journal

“Unlike the typical weighty garden tome—so many pages, so much jargon!—this book is light, bright and welcoming, the very opposite of intimidating.”—San Jose Mercury News

“Joseph and Liz bring the fun to food gardening! But this innovative book is also packed with solid garden advice that will help you grow a bumper crop of homegrown vegetables. Essential reading for every would-be vegetable gardener.”—Niki Jabbour, author of The Year-Round Vegetable Gardener, Niki Jabbour’s Veggie Garden Remix, and Growing Under Cover
 
“Get ready to learn and laugh! The adventures of George and Mia will help all vegetable gardeners along the path of creating a sustainable space for growing food. This breezy, funny cartoon gives us hard facts and sound advice on positioning the vegetable garden, soil testing, choosing plants, and more—and simultaneously shows us how strong friendships are made over gardens and food. This is one to own and share, and I plan on doing both!”—Ivette Soler, garden designer and author of The Edible Front Yard

“Don’t be fooled by how entertaining this book is: A next generation of vegetable gardeners is about to get an insider’s immersion course in smart gardening, thanks to Joseph and Liz.”—Margaret Roach, gardening author and founder of A Way to Garden podcast, radio show, and blog

“Equally charming and useful, this illustrated introduction to gardening is a delightful resource for anyone looking to dig into homegrown veggies.”—Publisher’s Weekly
