The Kitchen Garden (Tp) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"The Kitchen Garden" is devoted, as author Sylvia Thompson tells us forthrightly in the introduction, to the "unusual and rare" greens that most of us cannot find at the average American market. The book is divided into sections highlighting Asian greens, mustard greens, potherbs, and salad greens, with other entries being more descriptive: "Beans for Frying," "Cooking and Slicing Onions," and so forth.
Each entry gives not only the most typical gardener's name for a plant, but the Latin name and any other monikers as well. What follows each is her description of both the plant and her own experience with it; these miniature essays are the book's greatest pleasure, each being a deft weave of history, fact, and Thompson's own opinionated tips.
If your particular corner of God's green earth is too dry, too shady, or too anything, you will still be able to find some sort of solution for your problem in the graphically beautiful and informative pages of "The Kitchen Garden."
