The Resilient Gardener
Autor Carol Deppeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2010
Organizată metodic, această lucrare transcende ghidurile obișnuite de horticultură, structurând informația în funcție de reziliența pe termen lung: de la gestionarea culturilor în perioade de secetă sau inundări, până la adaptarea efortului fizic pentru cei cu mobilitate redusă. Recomandăm The Resilient Gardener ca pe un manual de supraviețuire demn de secolul XXI, unde rigoarea științifică a unui biolog de la Harvard se întâlnește cu experiența practică a unui grădinar organic. Găsim în această carte nu doar sfaturi de plantare, ci o strategie alimentară completă, axată pe cinci piloni calorici: cartofii, porumbul, fasolea, dovleceii și producția proprie de ouă.
Ca și Survival Gardening, volumul pune accent pe securitatea alimentară și independența față de lanțurile de aprovizionare, dar The Resilient Gardener se diferențiază printr-un stil propriu ce îmbină nutriția, medicina și genetica plantelor. În timp ce alte titluri se concentrează pe scenarii de criză, Carol Deppe propune o viziune optimistă, demonstrând cum o grădină bine proiectată poate susține o familie chiar și în perioade de dificultăți financiare sau intoleranțe alimentare, oferind rețete inedite fără gluten direct din recoltă.
Această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție naturală a operei sale anterioare; dacă în Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties autoarea încuraja grădinarii să devină creatori de noi soiuri, aici ea extinde conceptul către un stil de viață autosuficient. Credem că este o resursă indispensabilă pentru oricine dorește să transforme grădinăritul dintr-un hobby într-un sistem robust de subzistență, capabil să facă față provocărilor climatice actuale.

De ce să citești această carte
Această carte se adresează celor care doresc să treacă de la simplul grădinărit recreativ la o autosuficiență reală. Cititorul câștigă strategii concrete pentru a cultiva alimente de bază, bogate în calorii, și învață să mențină o grădină productivă chiar și în condiții de sănătate limitată sau vreme imprevizibilă. Este un ghid practic despre cum să prosperi, nu doar să supraviețuiești, folosind știința aplicată direct în țărână.

Recenzii
"The Resilient Gardener" is so essential, timely and important, and I will recommend it to everyone I know. It doesn't matter if you garden or if you don't-this is practical wisdom good for humans to know, passed on by a careful student who has deeply studied her life. Carol Deppe's lens is the garden-which is great for gardeners, but really, she speaks clearly to all of us. If you try to think like Deppe, you will find you have a new view of your life no matter who you are. This is a wise and intelligent book. Hats off to Carol Deppe!--Deborah Madison, Author of "Local Flavors" and "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone"
In the years since Carol Deppe wrote the classic "Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties", she has continued to grow in deep wisdom and experience. "The Resilient Gardener" is brilliantly timely, and shows us how to create gardens that can survive our increasingly erratic weather, while supplying key nutrition lacking in most vegetable gardens. This book fills a critical niche, and I recommend it unreservedly.--Toby Hemenway, author of "Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture"
"Growing food is among the most positive changes anyone can make in the face of uncertainty about the future. "The Resilient Gardener" is an information-packed resource for people starting or expanding a garden practice. This book empowers readers with skills and understanding, as did Deppe's previous book, "Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties"."--Sandor Ellix Katz, author, "Wild Fermentation" and "The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved"
"The Resilient Gardener" is the most comprehensive and detailed book about gardening that I have read to date, and I could not find one sentence that I would quibble with. Not only does Deppe discuss all the immediate, nose- to- the- grindstone kind of information about producing and using homegrown food, but also all the surrounding environmental and cultural aspects of gardening that are so vital to success. A must read for beginning gardeners, and full of details even the most experienced will find invaluable.--Gene Logsdon, author of "Small-Scale Grain Raising" and "Holy Shit: Managing Manure to Save Mankind"
Carol Deppe's celiac-friendly approach to gardening and nutrition provides a wealth of information on how to overcome food intolerances many are confronted with each day. If you struggle with food allergies or sensitivities--or want to use natural resources to create a healthy world for you and your family--this book is for you.--Peter H.R. Green, MD, Director, Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University
""The Resilient Gardener" gives concrete examples of how to deal with diet, climate, and economic changes before the need arises. Deppe challenges us to experiment with and practice all aspects of gardening, seed saving and food storage, and advises on the growing need to meet special food and climate requirements in the face of our food system's fragility. This book is an invaluable tool for gardeners and farmers as we experience more and more volatility in our food systems."--Suzanne Ashworth, author of "Seed to Seed"
Carol Deppe is informative, funny, and intriguing as she guides us through every phase of gardening--dispelling myths while also orienting us to the technical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of growing food. "The Resilient Gardener" is the quintessential guide to gardening from an authority who also knows how to enjoy herself.--Didi Emmons, author of "Vegetarian Planet"
"Library Journal" -"Resilient" gardeners adapt to challenging health, dietary, weather, or financial situations to produce food that can sustain a family through adverse times. In this guide to becoming such a gardener, plant breeder Deppe ("Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties") details her methods for safe and reliable food production-and covers more than strictly gardening-no matter your state of health or what climate you are in. She focuses on five crops with calorie, nutrient, and storage values: potatoes, corn, beans, squash, and, yes, duck eggs. In each chapter, Deppe describes her experiences with specific varieties of crops (with particular reference to her own climate in coastal Oregon), specific techniques for success, and unusual recipes suited to the varieties she grows (all are designed for those with gluten intolerance). VERDICT Deppe's idiosyncratic personality shines through her writing-this is as much a series of personal anecdotes by a lifelong expert gardener as a gardening book that will appeal to readers of a similar bent. Ideal for dedicated, independent gardeners who want to focus on food production despite dietary challenges, poor health, or other issues.
"ForeWord Reviews"-In "The Resilient Gardener," scientist and author Carol Deppe offers readers an inspiring approach to gardening. For many, gardening is a hobby-a source of solace and an experiment in self-sufficiency. Gardens are designed to offer up good things during good times-handfuls of bulbous tomatoes after weeks of careful watering, weeding, and monitoring for invading insects, for example. But what happens when gardeners-along with the rest of society-face uncertain times?Uncertain times, caused by an unstable economy, changing weather patterns, or personal injury, result in an expanse of time when the "garden suffers because people have other priorities." With this premise in mind, Deppe introduces the concept of resilient gardening. In Deppe's world, gardening transcends the world of leisurely pursuit and transforms into an act of empowerment.In twelve intensely detailed chapters, "The Resilient Gardener" empowers readers with the knowledge they need to design, build, and maintain gardens that can withstand intense hardship and thrive despite periods of complete neglect. The first half of the book marries the practice of gardening with emerging global issues, such as climate change, increasing attention to weight control, and the rise of food allergies. Readers must first achieve a firm grasp of how these issues intersect with the process of gardening in order to fully benefit from the hands-on guidelines provided later in the book. Deppe's analysis is thorough; her research delves deep. By discussing the interaction between gardening and prevalent world issues, she establishes gardeners as hubs of sustainability and survival, their individual efforts producing movements of resilience that can benefit society as a whole.One of the major strengths of this book-and what sets it apart from the deluge of gardening books currently on bookstore shelves-is the union of Deppe's scientific knowledge with her personal gardening experience.

Descriere scurtă
Scientist/gardener Carol Deppe combines her passion for organic gardening with newly emerging scientific information from many fields resilience science, climatology, climate change, ecology, anthropology, paleontology, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, health, and medicine. In the last half of The Resilient Gardener, Deppe extends and illustrates these principles with detailed information about growing and using five key crops: potatoes, corn, beans, squash, and eggs.
In this book you ll learn how to:
Garden in an era of unpredictable weather and climate change
Grow, store, and use more of your own staple crops
Garden efficiently and comfortably (even if you have a bad back)
Grow, store, and cook different varieties of potatoes and save your own potato seed
Grow the right varieties of corn to make your own gourmet-quality fast-cooking polenta, cornbread, parched corn, corn cakes, pancakes and even savory corn gravy
Make whole-grain, corn-based breads and cakes using the author s original gluten-free recipes involving no other grains, artificial binders, or dairy products
Grow and use popbeans and other grain legumes
Grow, store, and use summer, winter, and drying squash
Keep a home laying flock of ducks or chickens; integrate them with your gardening, and grow most of their feed.
The Resilient Gardener is both a conceptual and a hands-on organic gardening book, and is suitable for vegetable gardeners at all levels of experience. Resilience here is broadly conceived and encompasses a full range of problems, from personal hard times such as injuries, family crises, financial problems, health problems, and special dietary needs (gluten intolerance, food allergies, carbohydrate sensitivity, and a need for weight control) to serious regional and global disasters and climate change. It is a supremely optimistic as well as realistic book about how resilient gardeners and their vegetable gardens can flourish even in challenging times and help their communities to survive and thrive through everything that comes their way from tomorrow through the next thousand years. Organic gardening, vegetable gardening, self-sufficiency, subsistence gardening, gluten-free living."
