Once again Master Gardener Cheryl Anderson Wright focuses her considerable knowledge on the problems of growing your favorite vegetables in areas with short growing seasons and unpredictable weather. Wright's practical advice and down to earth recommendations will guide you from seed to table, and includes specific recipes for all the veggies you will want to grow and love to eat! As she did in her two previous books, (High Country Herbs, and High Country Tomato Handbook) the author takes the mystery out of growing your own food, offers step by step advice on everything from soil and pests to composting and mulching and encourages you with her mouth watering serving suggestions. Both brand new and experienced gardeners will benefit from Wright's perspective.High Country Tomato Handbook"As the population of the western states inches outward from the cities and upward in elevation, there is no reason to abandon 'flatland' gardening choices, namely tomatoes, especially with the support this book provides." -Ole Abeam,Bloomsbury Review, March/April 2005High Country Herbs"Anyone interested in the cultivation and use of culinary herbs at high elevations should have a copy of this definitive reference book on their kitchen shelves." -John A.
