This is filled with wisdom about their life making a living from a kitchen garden. There is a section on the best vegetable picks for planting, and since she was local here in Alberta it is really good advice. <BR/><BR/>Since I never paid attention to the recipes, and my mom is gone, I have found my 1980s edition of Joy of Cooking filled with good information on making jams and pickling. I heard they took it out of the new edition.<BR/><BR/>If you want to learn about edible wild mushrooms...David Arora's little pocket book "All that the rain promises" is as useful as it is beautiful..and entertaining to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-31402234823074127492008-12-04T08:55:00.000-05:002008-12-04T08:55:00.000-05:00In my opinion, the two Lynn Miller Books, Training...In my opinion, the two Lynn Miller Books, Training Workhorses/Training Teamsters and the Workhorse Handbook, are only ok. If you want excellent draft horse books, go for the ones by Steve Bowers, A Teamster's View and Farming With Horses. We use them 100 times more than Miller's books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805059345305368883.post-12408439891184393502008-12-02T11:57:00.000-05:002008-12-02T11:57:00.000-05:00Hey Funder, I already have your first book suggest...Hey Funder, I already have your first book suggestion down.

The soil and grass info is well worth the price of the book, even if you never get closer to a cow than a NY strip.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think you'll really enjoy the <A HREF="http://matronofhusbandry.wordpress.com/" REL="nofollow">Trapper Creek</A> blog.
