The Cook's Garden.

Good cooks dream of that perfect kitchen garden just beyond the back door where they can grow fruit, vegetables and herbs. Cook's gardens tend to be small, but diverse: herbs spilling out of pots, flowers mingling with the vegetables, trees laden with fruit.;Following the seasons, this work shows you how to prepare your soil, what to plant and when, and how to deal with pests and diseases. It provides cultivation advice on the most popular home crops and includes recipes for your garden's harvest and, when the season's over, and you've grown more than you need, you can follow the recipes for jams and preserves to share with neighbours and friends.
