Edible Gardening For California: Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits & Seeds

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, amaranth and fennel* Plus starting, maintaining and harvesting an edible garden, propagation and winter care, and solutions to common garden problems.

I got this after a year of poor garden growth determined to improve the following season. The author has great advice directed specifically towards California climates. There are also tips on preventing pests, diseases and how to deal with them if they occur anyway. I would definitely recommend the book to any new or intermediate gardener.
