The Cook's Garden tells how to grow and use the best-tasting vegetables and herbs. It covers history, best growing methods, timetables for planting, growing and harvesting, how a vegetable should look when picked, and best varieties to plant for over 22 kinds of vegetables. Included are beans, beets, broccoli, cabbages and carrots, corn and cucumbers, leeks, lettuces, melons, onions, peas and peppers, potatoes and tomatoes, squash and various root crops. There is a special section on herbs. What kind of fertilizers? What to do about pests? All are answered in the 214 pages of this easy to read book. Wonderful recipes for your wonderful harvest are included! Thirty-five sellers of seeds are listed. Even though the publication date is 1993, there are only a few recommendations for new vegetables each year, and many of the best are the tried-and-true from generations ago. so the information is indeed timely. If you want to grow not just tomatoes, but the best-tasting ones, and different varieties for different uses, and get the most enjoyment for your efforts, this is the book for you!
