The world truly is our horticultural oyster, with exciting new cultivars and even entirely unfamiliar species, like the goji and the honeyberry, coming to us from every corner of the globe. This tome urges you towards the cultivation of some of our lesser known edible plants, like anise, chervil, the persimmon, and the lingonberry, any of which will not only provide you with new culinary avenues to explore but plenty of visual delight in your garden. And then there are the fascinating histories, antique employments, myths and lore, however occasionally misguided, surrounding even our most familiar fruits, herbs, and vegetables.
Focusing on the most growable vegetables, herbs, and fruits for the greatest number of people, Jack Staub tells the stories of their origins and apprises the home gardener on ways to use them, from the table to remedies and potions. Up-to-the-minute cultivation and culinary advice are delivered with accessibility and wit.
