Organic Vegetable Gardening In a world where mass-produced
food often lacks taste and freshness, more and more people are
growing their own vegetables. This new, greatly expanded edition of
Annette McFarlane’s gardening classic 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, sow and germinate seeds, 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
unique character to the cuisines of China, Greece, Malaysia, Mexico,
Singapore, Thailand and India. There are additional chapters on
growing different types of mushrooms, and edible flowers and weeds.
For gardeners with not much room to move, there is a whole new
chapter on growing a large range of vegetables in containers. And
for those interested in heirloom vegetables, advice on collecting
and storing seeds. All this plus extensive instructions on how to
grow over 115 vegetables in the ‘A for Amaranth Spinach to Z for
Zucchini’ section, which includes heaps of new information on Asian
greens and cabbages and unusual vegetables, ensures that Organic
Vegetable Gardening remains the organic grower’s bible. Browse Before You Buy
