Description
Encyclopedic in scope, The Complete Book of Vegetables, Herbs & Fruit in Australia is the definitive sourcebook for growing, harvesting, and cooking your own fresh produce at home. Featuring over 100 different herbs, 70 vegetables, and 100 fruits, this magnificent guide will help, encourage, and inspire novices and experienced gardeners alike.
The coverage is phenomenal - from growing tomatoes throughout the year, to the great variety of potatoes you can grow in your own backyard, and other herbs that can be grown in even the smallest of spaces. Written with Australian consultants for Australian conditions, the book is filled with lavish illustrations and information that is easy to read and find.
Every gardener can discover the origins of plants, how they were named, their medicinal, cosmetic, and culinary uses, and most importantly, how to cultivate the right plant to ensure a bumper crop. This is a real must-have for every gardener or cook.
