Pot It Grow It Eat It
One of the most satisfying and rewarding things in life is to grow one’s own fruit and vegetables, and then to prepare them, freshly harvested, into a tasty meal. But growing one’s own produce needn’t be limited to those with large gardens. A whole range of vegetables, salads, herbs and fruit can be grown in limited spaces, such as windowsill containers, pots, small front or back gardens and balconies. The first section of the book covers what can be grown, the tools and materials needed, choosing the right containers, as well as where to site them for optimum results. Section two includes a vegetable, herb and fruit directory, with each entry listing planting, siting, maintenance and harvesting details, along with storing and freezing instructions. There are step-by-step photographs and a picture of the plant in situ for each entry. Finally, the recipe section showcases recipes using the produce grown: 25 fresh, simple recipes for starters, mains and desserts.
