Plants outside their natural habitat need a totally different kind of tender love and care, though, and that's especially true of voracious sun-drinkers like veggies, fruits, and herbs.

If you're daydreaming about what you can grow for the dinner table, dive into the nitty gritty of each type of gardening with chapters on microgreens, veggies and root veggies, herbs and spices, and fruits. After the harvest, learn about making more with less by growing from kitchen scraps. Of course, Janet and Sheryl also answer all your questions about what happens when things go wrong and help you tackle pests and mould, brighten up leggy plants and less-than-abundant harvests, and troubleshoot more complex growing systems.
