This is an illustrated gardener's guide to the different varieties
of bulb vegetables, their history and cooking uses. It includes
step-by-step instructions for preparing the soil, sowing from seed
and from sets, and harvesting and storing. It offers practical
advice on cultivating onions, garlic, leeks, Florence fennel and
many more. It also offers helpful hints on how to avoid pests and
diseases, and what to do when problems occur. Bulb vegetables have
been cultivated from the earliest civilizations for their essential
flavouring qualities. They include onions, shallots, garlic, spring
onions, leeks, chives and Florence fennel. These vegetables are
particularly healthy and flavoursome if they are home-grown and
eaten soon after harvesting. All the main types of bulb vegetables
are described and illustrated, with useful information about the
different varieties that can be grown, their history, cultivation
requirements and cooking uses. There are suggestions for when and
where to plant bulb vegetables, and how to keep them in tip-top
condition by dealing with any pests and diseases that may occur. A
must for the novice grower, the book also provides reliable
information for the experienced gardener who wants to experiment
with new varieties.
