Ever wondered why supermarket potatoes are so bland and boring? In
the Andes, where potatoes originate, there are thousands of
varieties with bright colours, beautiful markings, unusual shapes
and variations of flavour and cooking quality. In the modern world,
industrialised monoculture has reduced all this diversity down to a
handful of near identical varieties. However, it's incredibly easy
to grow potatoes from seed, and every seed is full of unexplored
diversity. Best known for her Daughter of the Soil blog, Rebsie
Fairholm gives clear and practical instructions for how to make
seeds from potato berries, how to cross different varieties, how to
choose which ones to experiment with, and how to keep your newly
created varieties growing into the future. She gives examples from
her own experiences with all kinds of potatoes, from ordinary
garden varieties to historic Scottish heirlooms and rare Andean
landraces, and explores the different colour possibilities, from
orange flesh to purple flesh. Our ancestors created their own
vegetable varieties in their gardens and took it for granted as a
completely normal thing to do; and then the commercial age came
along and changed our habits, and so it became something of a lost
art. This unique book is a small step towards changing that.
Designed as a reference for experienced gardeners and a learning
tool for novices, Vegetable Gardening Guides will help you
successfully grow and harvest over 90 vegetables and herbs.
This book is primarily a collection of "guides" for popular
vegetables and herbs. Each guide provides the information the
gardener requires to plan, plant, care for, harvest and enjoy a
particular vegetable. Also scattered throughout the book is
Additional Material of various types designed to provide
supplemental information we believe will be beneficial for most
vegetable gardeners. Finally, some of the key information is
summarized in a collection of tables at the rear of the book for
easy access.
For each vegetable we provide:
An entire section on each step of the growing process including
Planting, Growing, Harvesting, and Storing. A detailed section on
Insect and Disease Information, as well as some preventive
techniques. A large photo of the vegetable. A stat summary for easy
reference that includes plant and row spacing, when to plant seeds
and transplants, how deep to plant seeds, and even how many plants
to grow based on your family size. With over 90 vegetables and
herbs we cover all the favorites including:
Tomato, Summer Squash, Beans, Oregano,
Garlic, Zucchini, Mint, Melons,
Sweet Peppers, Basil, Broccoli, Peas
And even many less commonly grown vegetables such as:
Artichoke, Tomatillo, Okra,
Burdock, Endive, Celery
