Dick Martin's Great Garden Vegetables

by Dick Martin

Overview

It's never too early to start thinking about your garden! Outdoor writer Dick Martin takes you through ten essential vegetables that every garden should have with the steps it takes to make your garden great. Martin urges you to trust your instincts when gardening, but offers his years of gardening wisdom as a guide to those who are just beginning as well as those who have wisdom of their own. You can never learn enough about your garden. With homespun advice mixed with science, Martin takes staples such as onions, spinach, and beans and shows us their beauty, while also exploring the complexity of an asparagus bed or a chili pepper's heat. Photos illustrate the bounty of the harvest and nutritional highlights remind you why growing your own vegetables can be a rewarding and healthy experience!
