Easy Patio Veggies & Herbs" is a groundbreaking new book from Pamela Crawford, the best known container gardening expert in the nation. What sets Pamela's books apart is that she actually tests the plants she writes about, so she has first-hand experience with all of them. For two years, she planted 1,768 veggies & herbs. This hands-on approach leads to truly accurate descriptions that prevent many gardeners for making lots of mistakes. Instead of just writing about how to grow them, she also teaches how to design beautiful container gardens with edibles. Since most decks and patios are visible from key areas of the house, it makes sense to make them attractive.Pamela worked on growing the largest number of edibles possible on her own 9' x 17' deck. She also wanted a dining table, grill, and food prep area in this small space. That didn't leave too much room for the vegetables and herbs! So Pamela learned how to grow vertical, with tomatoes growing up wall trellises and planter boxes placed on top of the deck railing. She placed pots of herbs or smaller vegetables right on the deck, below the boxes. And she experimented with tall thin containers, which had incredible yield per square foot. One tomato plant grown in this vertical container yielded over 100 tomatoes in an 18" square area!Pamela also learned that the yield from one pepper plant could vary greatly from a different pepper plant. So she calculated how many vegetables each different kind of pepper produced (she wrote about 9 different cultivars). She proceeded to do this with all the vegetables she wrote about. This information is very important for gardeners, who might want 25 peppers from one plant and but not 284 from others!The book offers easy-to-follow instructions with 448 photos so you can grow gorgeous, bountiful veggies & herbs - right on your deck or patio.
