The Vegetable Gardener's Container Bible

Plentiful, Organic Vegetables from Small Spaces
Put your garden containers to work this summer. On the deck, in the garden, or even on a sunny balcony, you can grow luscious tomatoes, gorgeous artichokes, juicy strawberries, and so much more. Ed Smith has chosen, planted, tested, and tasted dozens of vegetables in all kinds of containers, and he shows you how simple and rewarding it is to grow a backyard garden even without a backyard.

"Big, delicious yields from small, unlikely spaces. This is just the book the world is hungering for and it couldn't come at a better time." - Roger Doiron, Founder, Kitchen Gardeners International and Leader of the White House Kitchen Garden Campaign

"Garden writer Edward Smith shares his expert knowledge on the subject in this excellent manual for both novice and experienced gardeners." - The National Gardener
