Here at Savings in Seconds, you get a chance to win the book The Heirloom Life Gardener: The Baker Creek Way of Growing Your Own Food Easily and Naturally, sponsored by Baker Creek Seeds.  I’ve purchased from Baker Creek seeds for two years and have been so impressed with their dedication to preserving our food supply.  Their articles are always so informative, inspiring, and inventive.  In fact, I started working on this post three times and kept getting distracted because I couldn’t stop reading the articles on the Baker Creek website!   I saw this article and started thinking about growing radishes, even though I have never eaten a radish!  Then after reading this article on gooseberry tomatoes, I got sidetracked and started looking for tomato jam recipes.   So I’m determined to sit down and write this giveaway post, because The Heirloom Life Gardener is a story in itself!

It all started when I ordered my copy of The Heirloom Life Gardener from Baker Creek.  On the day it arrived, I sat down and read it cover to cover.  Then I made a list of all the plants I needed to try, and placed another seed order.  Shipping is so affordable that I don’t mind placing additional orders, which is very rare for me!   Now those seeds are growing and thriving, thanks to the helpful information in this goldmine of a book.  Jere and Emilee Gettle, owners of Baker Creek, explain how they plant their garden, prepare their harvest, and even how to collect the seeds from their plants.  There is excellent information about organic gardening and how to safely deal with pests, too.  It’s just such a well-rounded reference.  For the first time, I realized that I could maximize my garden’s space by growing plants together or by growing plants year-round.   I hope you’ll check out Baker Creek seeds.  They follow the Safe Seed pledge (no GMO’s found here, thank you very much!) with over 1450 varieties of seeds from over 70 countries!  The fascinating articles are not to be missed either.

Enter to win your SIGNED hardcover copy of The Heirloom Life Gardener via the rafflecopter form below. The giveaway is open to US readers ages 18+ (except where prohibited by law.)   Good luck!
