Stop Wasting Your Yard!: 100 Edible Plants You Can Probably Grow at Home

by Kate Russell

Remember that watery, tasteless tomato you got from the grocery store? How about those strawberries that grew fuzz faster than you could eat them? If you grow some of those groceries at home, you will be amazed at how much better they taste! Imagine opening your backdoor onto a garden filled with attractive herbs and berry bushes, where fruit and nut trees share space with bell peppers, pole beans, artichokes, and the sweetest, most flavorful tomatoes you've ever eaten, still warm from the sun. Where a quick snip of parsley and basil, some dusty garlic cloves, and an onion bulb are free for the taking. You can't buy that in a grocery store. But you can grow it at home. And this book is going to help you do just that! You don't need to know anything about gardening. You don't need to rip out your landscape. You can do it over time, a little here, a little there. Stop Wasting Your Yard! shows you how simple it is to transform your ornamental landscape into an edible sanctuary.

Kate Russell's put together a great guide to edible gardening. Cleverly laid out, beautifully illustrated. Easy to use as a reference work, fun to pick up and read at any point in the text. Whether you want to learn how to grow quinoa, discover rosemary's new name, or learn about chicory confusion, Stop Wasting Your Yard will enlighten, advise, and entertain you. Highly recommended.
