Fresh is simply best. To get the tastiest, most nutritious produce,
you have to grow your own, and in a cold climate this presents
unique challenges. Fresh from the Garden will help you extend the
growing season to produce the best vegetables, berries, and herbs,
right in your own backyard. The guide includes more than 150 edible
plants and helps you decide which varieties to choose; where and
how to plant, tend, and harvest them; and what to do with your
bounty. Fresh from the Garden is a clear, concise guide, with
nutrition information tables and hundreds of helpful color
photographs. Drawing on more than fifty years of gardening-and
nearly as many years writing on the subject-John Whitman describes
various methods of planting to make the most of different sites,
whether in containers, raised beds, or on level ground, and takes
into consideration the abbreviated growing season and longer summer
days. He discusses the merits of starting from seed indoors or
outdoors, the making and uses of compost, and measures for keeping
a garden healthy, from mulching and fertilizing to crop rotation
and winter protection. Included in his wealth of knowledge is a
generous listing of more than 1,700 varieties of vegetables,
berries, and herbs, from the best known to the highly unusual,
including hybrid and heirloom varieties. He covers the specifics of
cultivation, nutritional values, storage techniques, and culinary
usage. Dedicated to organic practices, for the health of gardener
and garden alike, the information and advice in Fresh from the
Garden will enrich the experience of cold climate gardeners.
