This is an illustrated gardener's directory of the different varieties of green vegetables, their history and cooking uses. It offers step-by-step instructions for preparing the soil, sowing, thinning seedlings, compost harvesting and storing green vegetables. It includes detailed guidance on cultivating each type of vegetable, including planting times, planting depth and distance, and when to harvest.

This practical directory describes how to grow and care for each type of vegetable, and how to harvest and store them.
