Amanda Brooks

Seasonal planting schedules, seed germination, soil prep, crop spacing, and harvest timing, these are the building blocks Amanda Brooks returns to again and again in her writing on vegetable gardening and herb cultivation. Her interest started small, a few tomato and basil plants on a cramped apartment balcony, and grew into a Bachelor of Science in Horticultural Science from North Carolina State University, with coursework in vegetable production and plant propagation. She writes to help home gardeners avoid the common mistakes that quietly cost them yield.
