This manual shows how you can grow vegetables and fruit, using organic methods, even if you don't have a garden: all you need is a couple of pots or a window box. The author explores which are the best plants for flavour, and for maximum yield in the space available; how to provide the best possible conditions; and how to plan for a succession of edible plants. A plant-by-plant guide to the best fruit, vegetables, salads and edible flowers provides cultivation and harvesting details, and a selection of recipes enables you to make the most of your home-grown crops.
