This practical guide to vegetable gardening offers bite-size solutions to common questions and problems, such as intensive planting, grow lights, direct sowing versus transplanting starts, propagating herbs, and harvesting at the right time.
The author, Resh Gala, is a professional kitchen garden designer who wrote this book to give amateur home gardeners hope and encouragement when their efforts go awry.
