Drawing on more than 50 years of gardening—and nearly as many years writing on the subject—author John Whitman provides a guide to help you grow the tastiest and most nutritious produce in a cold climate. The guide includes more than 150 edible plants and helps you decide which varieties to choose; where and how to plant, tend, and harvest them; and what to do with your bounty. Whitman also describes various methods of planting to make the most of different sites, whether in containers, raised beds, or on level ground. Fresh from the Garden is a clear, concise guide, with nutrition information tables and hundreds of helpful color photographs.—Breana Roy
