I bought a new book

I try very hard to stay out of the book stores.  There was a time in my life, where, if I hadn't stopped, it probably would have become a serious problem.

I grew up loving books and the places they would/could take you.  And once I had one, I didn't want to give it away.

When we moved, halfway across the country, I had to purge myself of nearly all of my books.  Books of learning or information were carefully weeded through and kept and books of pleasure were AGONIZED over before being let go to the Goodwill shop.

Anyway, I now will only buy a book if I really feel what I am going to get out of it is worth having in my home.  Also, it has to be printed here in the United States.  If I am going to spend my hard earned money, I need to be sure it is going to help someone else retain their job.

Okay, now you know some of my basic thoughts on books.  Now, onto the book I bought.

"The New Seed-Starters Handbook" by Nancy Bubel

I want to start most of my plants on my own this coming season and in the past, I have had failed attempts.  There must be something, well, a lot of something's, that I'm not doing correctly and this time I need a bit of instruction on to how to do it.

As far as inside plants, I don't have a green thumb at all.  Outside.  That's another story.  So I need help with learning the proper steps for starting seed indoors to have a more successful outside garden experience.

While I haven't read much of the book yet, so I can't review it for you, I will tell you what chapters this book has in it.  Actually there are four Sections and each has chapters in them. 

Section One : Starting Seeds Indoors
Section Two : Moving Plants Outdoors
Section Three : Special Techniques and Situations
Section Four : Saving Seeds and Making Further Plans

I thought each one of these chapters will help me along my journey to have better seed starts and a better garden this coming spring.

I would love to hear any of your advice on how you start your seeds for your garden.
