Description
Growing -- and eating -- one's own fruits and vegetables is one of the most satisfying experiences in gardening. Fortunately for today's small-space gardeners, fruit and vegetable plants have shed their utilitarian image and are now an integral part of many an ornamental garden. The Kitchen Garden shows, in 20 easy-to-execute projects, how to use these vitamin-packed edibles to create a variety of delightfully decorative and productive plots.The newest installment in the Garden Project Workbook series, The Kitchen Garden offers readers a panoply of unique solutions for adding fruits and vegetables to gardens of any size or style: laying down a salad bed, designing a knot garden for herb plants, building a rooftop kitchen garden, creating an arbor of vegetable vines, introducing vegetables to hanging pots, and planting fruit among the flowers.With this winning combination of practical advice and dearly illustrated, step-by-step instructions, all gardeners can now enjoy the fruits -- and vegetables -- of their labors.
