THE VEGETABLE GROWERS HANDBOOK

Written by an actual home vegetable gardener, this is an extremely practical and informative guide to growing over 70 common (and some less common) vegetable crops. There are specific, step by step instructions for each crop; soil requirements, variety selection, raising transplants, direct sowing, protection, watering, harvesting, seed saving, storage, extending the growing season and more. It forewarns you of potential problems with each crop, and explains how to deal with them. Not content to stop there, it also discusses unusual crops, culinary herbs, edible flowers, enhanced nutrition foods, unusual growing ideas, additional uses for common crops, and even how to use common edible garden weeds. There is even a small selection of outstanding vegetarian recipes.
