Description

Vegetable gardening is happening everywhere—in cities and suburbs, in farms and schools, in community gardens and at the White House. And it’s happening in houses and apartments, on balconies and porches, and anywhere else people can find the space.
Small-Space Vegetable Gardens explains the basics of growing a bounty of edibles in a minimal amount of space. Andrea Bellamy, author of the award-winning blog Heavy Petal, shares all the knowledge she’s gained from years of gardening small: how to find and assess a space, how to design for a specific area, how to plan and build a garden, and how to make the most of limited space. Bellamy also highlights the top 70 edible plants and offers complete information on how to sow, grow, and harvest them in small spaces.
This hardworking and enthusiastic guide teaches gardeners how to take advantage of the space they have—whether it’s a balcony, a patio, a plot in a community garden, or even a small yard—to create the food garden of their dreams.
