What Grandpa Knew: A Beginner's Guide to Growing Your Own Food

He grew enough to feed a family of seven — from a backyard plot no bigger than a parking space. When he passed, we made sure none of it was lost.

My grandfather, Vincent D'Accolti Sr., ran a garden center in Bethpage, Long Island for over thirty years. He grew it, sold it, gave it away, and grew it again — season after season. He called me "the little guy." And when you're a little guy following someone like him around a working garden, you pick things up.

This guide is everything he taught me, written down for the first time.
