I am John L Friedenbach, the author of Green Garden Growers. I grew up on a farm in Montana where my mother cultivated a garden each year to feed our family. My role was to assist in cultivating and hoeing to control the weeds, while my mother handled the delicate task of direct seeding. I also contributed to harvesting and preparing the harvest. After joining the military and leaving gardening behind, I became frustrated with store-bought tomatoes that appeared ripe but were still green. This led me to start growing my own tomatoes in 5-gallon buckets from starter plants. This marked the beginning of my journey into growing my own food. Today, I have a 15' x 25' garden plot where I cultivate a variety of vegetables using trellises to maximize space. My passion for organic gardening drives me to provide other gardeners with knowledge and tools to help them succeed.
