<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>At last, an innovative solution for urbanites, apartment dwellers, and anyone who wants to grow their own food in small spaces--growing up! "Vertical Vegetables & Fruit" shows how easy and fun small-footprint food gardening can be.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For gardeners working in confined spaces, Rhonda Massingham Hart presents an ingenious solution for maximizing productivity: grow up! With tepees, trellises, hanging baskets, cages, wall pockets, and multilevel raised beds, you can reap bountiful harvests in even the tiniest growing areas. From kiwis on a clothesline to tomatoes dangling outside a window, <i>Vertical Vegetables & Fruit</i> shows you how to construct and maintain a thriving and abundant garden in whatever small space you have available.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Limited Space and Little Time to Garden? Try Growing Your Food Up <p/>In a very small footprint, you can take advantage of vertical acreage by planting vegetables and fruit that climb, ramble, and twine toward the sun. Small, contained spaces also minimize weeding and pest control and maximize your harvest. <p/>Begin with peas and beans, the stars of climbing vines, and then explore the vertical possibilities of other popular garden foods: <p/>* Grow tomatoes in a hanging planter; pick them off the dangling vines <br>* Train cucumbers along the sloping sides of an A-frame trellis <br>* Tie melon vines to a fence and use slings to cradle the heavy fruit <br>* Weave sweet potato vines through a trellis; enjoy the foliage as a decorative plant and dig the potatoes for dinner <br>* Confine sprawling squash plants to a tepee instead of having them take over valuable garden space <br>
