Based on seasonal cycles, each chapter of this indispensible book provides a new way to look at the planning stages of starting a garden-with themes and designs such as the Salad Lover's Garden, the Heirloom Maze Garden, the Children's Garden, and the Organic Rotation Garden. More than 100 recipes-including a full range of soups, salads, main courses, and desserts, as well as condiments and garnishes-are featured here, all using the food grown in each specific garden.
"With charming hand-drawn planting plans, bright color photos, and tempting recipes. . . . Ms. Ogden's book arms wannabe gardeners with all the tools to plan a productive garden before seeds ever meet the ground."
