Reviews

Part 1 of this informative book focuses on growing 18 kinds of vegetables, with basic instructions on preparing the soil and making compost. Part 2 gives instructions on growing a variety of fruits, with tips on planting, stakings, training, pest control, and storing fruits. Part 3 concerns growing herbs, with information on which ones will prosper in sunny places and which will do better in the shade. Ways to propagate, freeze, and dry are also explained. Part 4 presents ways to add color to the kitchen garden by using flowers--annuals, perennials, and spring and summer bulbs--among the fruits and vegetables. More than 200 step-by-step color photographs, along with instructions on choosing, planting, and maintaining a kitchen garden, make this an ideal book for beginners. George Cohen
