Green Reading Material

It's Tuesday and the sun is giving all it has to peak out from behind the clouds. The air is fresh and the temperature is a perfect long sleeve shirt kind of day. This happens to be one of my favorite types of days. These are the sort of days where I enjoy sitting outside, with a hot cup of tea and my gardening reading material. So below, I'm going to provide a few reading sources and references that wont only add to your understanding and knowledge of gardening and maintaining a homestead, but will also provide plenty of colorful and bountiful inspiration. Get ready!


Magazines: 

> Organic Gardening

> Horticulture

> Fine Gardening

> Urban Farm

> Sunset

My personal favorite is Urban Farm. This magazine not only touches gardening but also caring for livestock, and so on. It's that type of magazine that you can read over and over and it never gets old. 



Books: 

> The Backyard Homestead

> Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs

> All New Square Foot Gardening

> The Joy of Keeping Chickens

> Urban Homesteading

> The Backyard Homestead: Guide to Raising Farm Animals

> The Joy of Keeping Farm Animals



I treasure my Urban Homesteading book. It has become a sort of "go-to" book. All of these books are helpful, and somewhat of a necessity if you really want to increase your sustainability.

Let me know if you have any of these and what you think!
