From her 1/4-acre food garden in zone 4a, Meg McAndrews Cowden grows enough to feed her family of four nearly year-round using simple, modern methods. Extending the growing season on both ends, including harvesting deep into winter, her methods have inspired tens of thousands worldwide. Her devoted followers relish the vivid photography and reflections from the garden alongside tutorials on soil blocking and recyclable pots, and fully subscribe to her planting guides and seed suggestions.
More than anything, Meg’s work reminds us, everyday, about the unmitigated joy one finds from growing your own food, the peace you feel digging in the earth, and the sense of unparalleled pride from growing a pepper you could never buy in the store.
