A design and recipe resource with ?all the tools to plan a productive garden before seeds ever meet the ground? (The Wall Street Journal). 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. ?There?s no reason a vegetable garden must be an eyesore, banished to the corner by the garage. . . . The Complete Kitchen Garden . . . combines design advice, garden wisdom and recipes.? ?Chicago Tribune
