Trying to find a book I read...

[beewench]

Ok, I read a book a while back and I cannot for the life of me remember the title. It was a self-sufficiency/farming type book and at the start of it there were pictures (drawings) of what you could grow on the different size plots; 1 acre, 2 acres etc.

It was not the Backyard Homestead. I already own that one…

Thanks!!

Sounds like John Seymour's The Self Sufficient Life and how to live it book.

Yep - that is the same book I thought of. Was just reviewing it again yesterday!

Agree.....I continue to check that book out from the library because I am too cheap to buy it. The librarians keep telling me to bring it back every couple of weeks so others can read it too!

I think that's it...put a request in at the library (again). I knew I could count on you guys!!

It's usually available (used) on Amazon and shipping is not too much. It's a great book.

I think John Seymour's idea of what you can cram into 1/5/10 acre plots was somewhat sadistic. Either that or he spent 50 years doing it and then just drew it all out in the end as if we'd be able to do it all from the beginning.

LOL. Probably. But it sure gives us something to strive for!
