Food to Grow By Frankie Flowers, with photos by Shannon J. Ross Frankie’s mission for 2016 is to get
as many people as possible to grow something they can eat. Food to Grow simplifies every growing decision you’ll need to make. Frankie helps you evalu- ate your space, decide just how much time you want to invest and then make the smartest choices about which plants will give you the best bang for your buck. He guides you through the entire growing season, from prepping and planning, to planting, weeding and harvesting (the best part!), and shares not just which veggies, fruits and herbs have become Frankie’s favourites, but which plants just aren’t worth the effort. Loaded with gorgeous photog- raphy that will have you desperate to get digging, Food to Grow includes a detailed A-Z index of over 50 of North America’s most popular home crops. Whether you have space for a few pots or 40 acres out back, Frankie Flow- ers will help you make your dream of home-grown treats a fun and tasty real- ity. Food to Grow is available at chap-
ters.indigo.ca, in store and in Costco. $29.99
