Description

This hardworking addition to the best-selling Backyard Homestead series offers expert advice on what tasks to do around your farm and when to do them — no matter where on the planet you call home. Author Ann Larkin Hansen sets the priorities for each area of the farm, including the barn, garden, orchard, field, pasture, and woodlot. For every critical turn of the year (12 in all), Hansen provides an at-a-glance to-do list along with tips and a more in-depth discussion of key topics for the season. Easy-reference charts, checklists, and record-keeping sections help you keep track of it all.

Also available in this series: The Backyard Homestead, The Backyard Homestead Book of Building Projects, The Backyard Homestead Guide to Raising Farm Animals, and The Backyard Homestead Book of Kitchen Know-How.

Arranged according to season, this book has worksheets to help property owners sort out the chores that need tending at different times of the year as well as specific topics relevant to that season – like bee-keeping, making hay, or maintaining and harvesting an orchard. This is no coffee table book, rather a serious guide to maintaining a home and land.

I loved how this was laid out with both the workbook that you can write in and the checklist that you can print off. It comes in a binder, so you can add some notes, if you wish, and is very well organized. While it is written from the perspective of a particular zone, it also gives information and helpful hints so that you can take the text and adapt it successfully to your own planting zone. It covers plants, animals, tools, recipes, and rest....all very useful skills on the farm! Overall, an A+ and perfect for any beginning homesteader.
