American Gardener, Green Thumb
If you think people are born with a green thumb, THINK AGAIN! I used to have a brown thumb. I tried raising all sorts of plants, and no matter what type of plant it was they ALWAYS died!
American Gardener, Green Thumb I tried planting rose bushes, and before the beauties could even bloom the bushes had become dried sticks without a touch of green. Someone suggested that I try an Aloe Plant, because these things were indestructible. A friend gave me an aloe plant and the poor thing was dead within 3 months. I so desperately wanted to see a little lively green plant growing happily in my home. I wanted fresh vegetables for my table. Then one day I discovered air plants!
American Gardener, Green Thumb I was at a craft show, and a lady there was selling air plants that were OH SO BEAUTIFUL! She said NO ONE could kill these plants. She told me that all they needed was to be hung in the bathroom, and the steam from the shower would provide all the nutrients they needed. NO DIRT! NO FERTILIZER! They needed nothing except a moist environment that is provided in any bathroom. I was as happy as an ant on a hill of honey when I got home with my new plants. I purchased 3 beautiful air plants, hung them neatly in my bathrooms and basked in the joy of FINALLY seeing a thing of beauty growing in my home. That is until they died.
American Gardener, Green Thumb By this time even I myself was too scared to get a plastic plant. It would probably dry out and die on me too then I would probably have to cut both of my thumbs off! I gave up on growing plants for years after that. Then one day I was searching the internet for information about knitting. I stumbled across a gardening forum where ladies were knitting plant pot covers. One of the ladies had a picture of the most beautiful tree I had ever seen! A dark red Japanese Maple tree that had a breath taking beauty that I had never seen before in my life. I HAD to have one!!
American Gardener, Green Thumb This tree was so beautiful, I found myself craving one for my own yard. I wanted one so badly that I spent months researching Japanese Maples and how to grow them successfully. Japanese Maples, I found, are very expensive. I wanted to learn all I could about them before I purchased my own, because I wanted to MAKE SURE that my Japanese Maple would not die! I read forums, looked up gardening articles, and tried to find as much information as I could about Japanese Maples online. Sadly, the information I located dealt mostly with maintaining them once they were already established and growing successfully. I needed information on how to keep one from DYING before it got established in my yard and I could not locate this information ANYWHERE! I decided to look for older gardening books, and THAT is when my search was over! I found a slew of old gardening books written in the 1800's that answered EVERY question I had about growing trees, fruits, vegetables and flowers that I could dream of. The American Gardener is one of those books, and the main one that helped me in learning everything I need to know about growing any plant I can dream of under the sun! The American Gardner was written in 1854 by William Cobbett. It is now in the public domain and has been converted into electronic format for your enjoyment.

This past spring I planted a successful vegetable garden that provided enough produce to feed 5 families for 2 months and provide many bags for our freezers! My second fall garden was planted just last week and is already sprouting many tiny plants for a second harvest. All this was planted on a piece of plot that measures not more than 20 feet by 40 feet! I had so many cucumbers growing that I could not even can them all I had to give them away! My zucchini's were so huge that they had to be shared with my in laws and my mother, because we could not eat them as fast as they grew. I have come a long way from where I could not even keep an air plant alive, the where I am now growing plants with no roots in just a box of peat moss and sand! All the information you'll need to get started is provided in the American Gardener, no matter what type of growing success you have had in the past you'll find tips and techniques to improve your growing success in this manual!
