This is an illustrated gardener's directory of the different
varieties of green vegetables, their history and cooking uses. It
offers step-by-step instructions for preparing the soil, sowing,
thinning seedlings, compost harvesting and storing green
vegetables. It includes detailed guidance on cultivating each type
of vegetable, including planting times, planting depth and
distance, and when to harvest. There are helpful hints on how to
avoid pests and diseases, and what to do when problems occur.
Greens, or leaf vegetables, are highly nutritious, contributing
essential vitamins and minerals to your diet, and are particularly
healthy and flavoursome if home-grown and eaten soon after
harvesting. The main types of greens are described and illustrated
here, with useful information about the different varieties, their
history and cultivation requirements. This practical directory
describes how to grow and care for each type of vegetable, and how
to harvest and store them. There are suggestions for when and where
to plant the greens, and how to deal with any pests and diseases
that may occur. This book provides reliable information for the
gardener who wants an at-a-glance reminder of what to do when in
the vegetable plot.
