About this Book

In this completely revised and updated edition you'll learn how to grow your own fresh produce using the heirloom vegetables. Tastier, more diverse and producing higher yields than commercially grown varieties, these vegetables are the best to grow in any vegetable garden. Clive Blazey has collected practical information and expert advice on cultivation and growing tips so that you can get started growing your own totally edible garden from heirloom varieties. Divided into four main sections covering all aspects of vegetable growing including: the best vegetables to grow for taste, ornamental value and self-sufficiency; cultivation basics; a directory of growing vegetables; and seed saving. Accompanied by colour photographs, charts and a climatic map of growing seasons throughout Australia, this book is a guide to growing your own vegetables, whether you have a large plot of land or only forty-two square metres.
