Edible Gardening for the Midwest

Many gardeners throughout the Midwest have a plot of land or a few containers into which they toss a few seeds every spring and later in the early summer enjoy some fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions and herbs. For other people, the vegetable garden occupies their thoughts year-round, from planning and propagating to digging and hoeing and then harvesting, preserving and enjoying, only to start the cycle the following year. This handy book features 65 accounts of vegetables, herbs, fruits and seeds that gardeners commonly grow each year. The accounts include planting and growing tips, as well as recommended species and dealing with pests and problems.
