With warm humour and patience, Wheeler introduces the basics of gardening in a manner that is both informative and a pleasure to read.
Wheeler’s beguiling Gardening for the Faint of Heart …is thoroughly down to earth and a fun and helpful read from start to finish.
My favourite was Gardening for the Faint of Heart … Wheeler knows her stuff and presents it in a way that reassures and informs novice gardeners but also entertains...
(Gardening for the Faint of Heart), Wheeler’s first book, is a delightful read, full of humour and down-to-earth advice.
If you’re going to buy for yourself or another gardener one book that’s sure to be read, enjoyed and put to use, check out (Gardening for the Faint of Heart).
Finally! The long awaited realist view on gardening! The dark side smartly exorcized with wit and affection, this book is both a hoot and excellent reference guide. … Her respect for the reader raises her book heads above the others.
This is a book with a kind voice and a gentle intelligence …An easy read, (Gardening for the Faint of Heart) covers herb gardens, edible landscaping, pruning, container gardening and more.
I bought this for my husband. He loved it. I read it and enjoyed it as well. It's a great little book to help anyone who is looking to be a little more in control of their food sources. From Amazon Reviews
(Food Security for the Faint of Heart) is a book for those who know the truth of what's coming, but would really rather "be in Colorado" as Judi Collins would say. It's kind and gentle and submerges the reader gently into a "panic" bath. It would be great if the naysayers were all wrong; then we could laugh at their silliness. But there's this small voice telling us they're right, and we'd do well to follow this book's advice. From Amazon Reviews
Robin Wheeler has thoroughly covered the subject of food security in a funny, lighthearted way. Her writing style and humor are delightful and I got the feeling that I would like to meet her in person.
This is not just a book about storing emergency food, but a book of suggestions on how to take control of your food supply, eat healthier and have some peace of mind...and maybe even have a little fun doing it. She makes you want to try some of her suggestions.
She presents several interesting recipes, written in a happy-go-lucky way that makes you believe you can't fail. I intend to try her Potato-Leek soup...but I might just use scallions instead of Leeks! What the heck.
I recommend this book highly.
