Book Description/Synopsis:

At last, here comes 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 food gardening can be. Low maintenance and big harvests are just two of the benefits of using teepees, trellises, cages, hanging baskets, wall pockets, stacking pots and multilevel raised beds to grow vegetables. Whether the soon-to-be garden is a narrow alley, a balcony, a rooftop or just a windowsill, master gardener Rhonda Massingham Hart provides expert advice for constructing the site, preparing the soil and planting and caring for vegetables and fruits that will produce a hearty harvest. From beans on a tepee to tomatoes on a wire archway, melons on a slanted fence to cucumbers on a trellis, kiwis on a clothesline to strawberries in a pot, there are simple growing guidelines here to fit every gardener's tastes and site.
