Kitchen Harvest by Susan Berry
This guide shows how you can grow vegetables and fruit, using organic methods, even if you don't have a garden: all you need is a couple of pots or a window box. The book explains: which are the best plants for flavour, and for maximum yield in the space available; how to provide the best possible conditions; and how to plan for a succession of edible plants. A plant-by-plant guide to all the best fruit, vegetables, salads and edible flowers provides complete cultivation and harvesting details. A selection of enticing recipes enables you to make the most of your delicious home-grown crops.
Container gardening with a purpose: growing a cropAdmittedly the crop will be small, but with just a few patio pots or a window box, the smallest sort of allotment imaginable, you can still successfully cultivate tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries and other fruits and vegetables, many unusual or exotic. Susan Berry has written 10 gardening books, including three on container gardening, and the experience is evident in her clear and enthusiastic description of every aspect of miniature arable farming. This is a plant-by-plant guide with the emphasis on organic methods and detailed descriptions of every aspect of plant cultivation. There are recipes, too, and a section on culinary herbs, perhaps the most common version of kitchen container gardening. The photographs by Steven Wooster are superb.
Susan Berry has written ten gardening books, including three on container gardening: The Complete Guide to Gardening in Containers, Gardening on Balconies and Ferraces (both with Steve Bradley) and Plants for Small Spaces (with Stephanie Donaldson). She has also edited many bestselling gardening books, including The Green Tapestry by Beth Chatto, which she coproduced, and The Flower Garden by Christopher Lloyd. An enthusiastic organic gardener, she cultivates a small garden in London as well as an allotment.
