This is a good book to have handy if you are a newbie gardener and want to grow edibles in containers or small spaces. Each plant gets a two-page spread which includes a full-color photograph, suggestions on varieties that work well in containers, and planting instructions. There are even some recipes for dishes using your harvest. I borrowed this book from the library, but I may end up buying a copy before next planting season.
Although Day lives in Toronto (well outside of my gardening zone), the book is full of great pictures and quick tips ranging from difficulty, growing conditions, harvesting and storing. The asparagus pea might be one of the most unusual looking veggies I've ever seen.
