The
Vegetable Growers Handbook
by Frank Tozer
From
soils to seeds to soups, most everything you need to know for
gardening success.
This
highly practical book contains all the information you need
to successfully grow more than 50 common vegetables. There are
specific step-by-step instructions for each crop: soil requirements,
variety selection, raising transplants, direct sowing, protection,
harvesting, seed saving, and storage. After telling you what to
do (and when), the Handbook also tells you why, by explaining
in detail how crops grow. A book with imagination, it also discusses
many unusual crops, culinary herbs, and more. It then goes on
to unusual growing ideas, edible flowers, enhanced nutrition foods,
additional uses for common crops, and even how to use common edible
wild plants and garden weeds. There is also a small selection
of outstanding vegetarian recipes. The Vegetable Growers Handbook
is the companion to The Organic Gardeners Handbook.
