Organic Vegetable Gardening
by Annette McFarlane
ISBN: 9780733325250
Fully revised edition of the bestselling kitchen garden classic
Organic Vegetable Gardening
Annette McFarlane
A completely revised and updated edition of this bestselling classic, with new material on heirloom and exotic vegetables, mushrooms, edible flowers and weeds, container gardening and seed saving.
In a world where mass-produced food often lacks taste and freshness, more and more people are growing their own vegetables.
In this brand new edition of a gardening classic Annette McFarlane offers gardeners an authoritative and comprehensive guide to growing an extensive range of organic vegetables. As well as outlining the basics - how to plan your garden and prepare soil, make compost, develop a planting guide, propagate, and sow seeds and achieve germination - Annette offers a mass of new and exciting material.
In 'Garden to Gourmet', she explains how to grow Australian bush food and the herbs and spices that give the unique character to the cuisines of China, Greece, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Thailand and India.
For gardeners with not much room to move, there is also a whole new chapter on growing a large range of vegetables in containers.
All this plus extensive instructions on how to grow over 115 vegetables in the 'A for Amaranth Spinach to Z for Zucchini' section, including heaps of new information on Asian greens and cabbages and unusual vegetables, ensures that Organic Vegetable Gardening remains the organic grower's bible.
