How does your garden grow? As any home gardener will tell you, growing your own is the only way to go. The vegetables are shockingly more tasty than store bought produce and fresh cut flowers will brighten any decor. Front yards, back yards and window boxes in bloom satisfy the soul and give good reason to get a little dirt under the fingernails. Now is the time to set those seeds and plan this year’s bounty. Martha has some tips on planting from seed and Theodore James guides us on a working tour from the sprout to the cook's table.
Gardening from Seed: The Keys to Success with Flowers and Vegetables Growing your own plants from seed is the most rewarding, most economical way to create the garden you long for. In this comprehensive yet easy to follow handbook, the editors of Martha Stewart Living share their secrets for success: Starting Seeds Indoors, Direct Sowing Outdoors, Garden Plans and A Glossary of Plants.
Cultivating the Cook's Garden: From Seed Packet to Saute Pan Well-known gardening writer Theodore James has completely updated and expanded his 1982 The Gourmet Garden for today's tastes and trends.

From lemongrass to tomatillos and chiles to capers, greens and even edible flowers, James shows how to plant, nurture, harvest and prepare. Written with today's cook/gardener/reader in mind, the book focuses on what can be grown to expand one's cooking horizons in a minimum of garden space, with a moderate investment of time.
