This book reveals the truth about heirloom vegetables. Heirlooms are not nostalgia in edible form, but are simply the best varieties to grow in any vegetable garden, having a better flavour, longer harvest period and good disease resistance. And they are marvellously decorative in any garden display.
Featuring practical information and expert advice on cultivation, people who want to create their own totally edible garden are catered for, while backyard city gardeners are shown how to grow a year's supply of vegetables in a mini plot of just 42 square metres. All main aspects of vegetable growing are covered: the best vegetables to grow for taste, ornamental value and self-sufficiency; the basics of cultivation; a directory of growing vegetables including an expanded segment on tomatoes; and seed saving. Optimum yields are also provided, accompanied by stunning colour photographs, numerous charts and a unique climatic map showing optimum regional growing seasons throughout Australia.
