Lovely container gardening book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is a bright, gorgeously designed book with vivid color photos and charming illustrations. A worthwhile addition to your collection if you already have some knowledge or experience with container gardening, however it lacks depth on certain matters and concepts. For example, as someone who has little experience with composting, I would have preferred a more fleshed-out description or step-by-step instructions. Also, the author lists some of the problems and pests each plant might face, but only offers a sentence or two about how to prevent or eradicate them. Still, I found the short blurbs on each type of plant helpful, right down to which exact hybrids grow best in pots and what kind of yield to expect. This is the first container gardening book I've come across to include potted trees, although I was a little disappointed to find no citrus plants were included. The recipes included sound delicious, but many are dairy-intensive, using sour and heavy creams, so I doubt I'll make use of them. Overall, I found Kitchen Harvest a quick and enjoyable read and it spurred my excitement about gardening on into the fall and next year.
