Imagine there is a new agricultural technique that promises higher yields and less work. How does it sound to you? Well, I can tell you it is possible. If you are willing to make a change to your current way of gardening, and plus get some real benefits, then growing perennials is the way to go. You will be surprised to learn how little work perennial vegetables require when compared to the work and tending annuals need. Once you plant perennials, they can go on growing and producing for many years. To support their growth, you will just need to add some mulch and compost. One great thing that comes from growing perennials is the fact that growing these plants extends the harvest season. In other words, you can enjoy your vegetables throughout the season as long as you keep the soil from freezing. With mulching, this is a pretty easy thing to do. There are all sorts of perennials out there – leaves, edible roots, and flowers that you can grow and transform your garden into a diverse patch of land that will eventually require less of your time. This book will get you started with this gardening technique. Here are the vegetables that you can easily learn how to grow in your garden.

The biggest mistake gardeners make each season is starting out too big and then quickly realizing
their large plot requires too much weeding, watering, and backbreaking labor. Vertical gardening guarantees a better outcome from the day the trowel hits the soil―by shrinking the amount of "floor" space needed and focusing on climbing plants that are less prone to insects, diseases, and animal pests.
Notable author and gardener Derek Fell has tried and tested thousands of varieties of vegetables,
flowers, and fruits and recommends the best plants for space-saving vertical gardening. His grow-up,
grow-down system also shows which ground-level plants make good companions underneath and alongside climbing plants. Best of all, many of Fell's greatest climbers and mutually beneficial plants are available in seed packets in every local garden center.
With a mix of DIY and commercially available string supports, trellises, pergolas, raised beds, skyscraper gardens, and topsy-turvy planters, the vertical garden system reduces work, increases yields, makes harvesting easier, and can be practiced in spaces as small as a container or a one-by-four-foot strip. Vertical Gardening features 100 color photos of the author's own vertical methods and showcases beautiful, troublefree perennials, shrubs, vegetables, annuals, and fruit perfect for this new, rewarding way to garden.

The impulse to grow vegetables is even stronger in 2009 than it was in 2000, when Storey published The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible. The financial and environmental costs of fossil fuels raise urgent questions: How far should we be shipping food? What are the health costs of petroleum-based pesticides and herbicides? Do we have to rely on megafarms that use gasoline-powered machinery to grow and harvest crops? With every difficult question, more people think, "Maybe I should grow a few vegetables of my own." This book will continue to answer all their vegetable gardening questions.

"Smith . . . clearly explains everything novice and experienced gardeners need to know to grow vegetables and herbs. . . . " — Library Journal
