Kitchen Gardens in Containers

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Growing your own has never been simpler! With containers, even the smallest outside space--a patio, roof, balcony, or window box--can become a garden bursting with delicious organic fruits, tasty vegetables, and fragrant herbs. Use them to cook, make beauty preparations, and decorate. Along with fabulous photographs that show how wonderful this mini garden can look, get all the basics on plant selection and care, plus choosing and preparing containers. Pictures display a wealth of attractive and practical ideas, like low-growing herbs surrounding an evergreen box topiary; a charming miniature peach tree that fits so nicely into a tight corner; and purple ornamental kales (flanked by cyclamen and winter heather) that grow right on a sill. Bonus: a plant directory with detailed information on over 140 varieties and mouthwatering recipes!
