Food plants have their own ornamental value, adding harmony to existing landscapes without creating a separate vegetable garden. They also provide a fresh, healthy alternative to the tasteless and woody fruits and vegetables bred for long-distance transportation and shipped to our grocery stores from all over the world. In this book, we show how, with just a little effort, you can augment your landscape with edibles of every description in an environmentally sustainable manner:
• veggie favorites—tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, beans
and onions
• berries—blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and
strawberries
• the superhealthy—flax, broccoli, kale and garlic
• the oddly beautiful—Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, asparagus
and artichokes
• the ancient and exotic—quinoa, fennel and hardy kiwi
• plus starting, maintaining and harvesting an edible
garden, propagation and winter care, and solutions to
common garden problems.
