Just got my hands on Kim Pezza's 'Backyard Farming: Fruit Trees, Berries & Nuts' and I'm buzzing! This isn't just another gardening book—it's like having a chat with that super knowledgeable neighbor who actually knows what they're doing.

The book breaks everything down into 8 super digestible chapters. My favorite part? The container growing section because let's be real, not all of us have acres of land (I'm working with a postage stamp backyard here).

What really stands out is how Pezza balances the science-y stuff with practical tips. Like, she doesn't just say 'plant this'—she tells you when to prune your apple trees or how to spot diseases on your blueberry bushes. Super helpful for newbies like me!

Only gripe? The pictures could be better. But at this price point, I'm not complaining. Already planning to buy her other books in the series—this one's got me dreaming of homemade jams and fresh-picked walnuts!
