This
big glossy hardback compendium
is presented beautifully with
hundreds of picturesque and
informative photographs illustrating
the detail that has gone into
this lovely book.
If
you are venturing into the home production
of your fruits and vegetables
(and the time has never been
more right to do so - we really
do need to get back to basics as
far as food production is
concerned in the western world)
or are a seasoned market
gardener, then The Fruit &
Vegetable Gardener is the book
you have been looking for.
Every
aspect of home production is
covered from the planning stage,
(with detailed sections on
planning the perfect kitchen and
herb gardens while enabling
decorative features with clear
vegetable lists and plan details
for all kinds of themed gardens)
thru the Planting stage and
Cultivation along with a Fruit,
Vegetable and Herb Directory.
The directory section is full of
notes on planting and
cultivation times as well as
information on cultivation, uses
and identification of each
plant.
This
book would make a lovely gift
for all home gardeners although
being of English origin
some of the information needs to
be tweaked for your own climatic
needs.
