And thosetomatoes and zucchini and basil and cucumbers have nourishedcountless families, neighbors, and friends with delicious,fresh produce.

EVERYTHING YOU LOVED about the first edition of TheVegetable Gardener's Bible is still here: friendly,accessible language; full-color photography; comprehensivevegetable specific information in the A-to-Z section;ahead-of-its-time commitment to organic methods; and muchmore.

The impulse to grow vegetables is even stronger in 2009 thanit was in 2000, when Storey published The VegetableGardener’s Bible. The financial and environmental costs offossil fuels raise urgent questions: How far should we beshipping food? What are the health costs of petroleum-basedpesticides and herbicides? Do we have to rely on megafarmsthat use gasoline-powered machinery to grow and harvestcrops? With every difficult question, more people think,"Maybe I should grow a few vegetables of my own." This bookwill continue to answer all their vegetable gardeningquestions. |
