Review
Container gardening with a purpose: growing a crop. Admittedly 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.

Good Book!
This book is just what I was looking for. It has good tips for organic edible container gardening. The pictures are great and I am inspired to try lots of new things in containers this summer. I'm short on ground space, but I can fill some containers up!
