Book Description
With few exceptions-such as corn and pumpkins-everything edible that's grown in a traditional garden can be raised in a container. And with only one exception-watering-container gardening is a whole lot easier. Beginning with the down-to-earth basics of soil, sun and water, fertilizer, seeds and propagation, The Bountiful Container is an extraordinarily complete, plant-by-plant guide.
Written by two seasoned container gardeners and writers, The Bountiful Container covers Vegetables-not just tomatoes (17 varieties) and peppers (19 varieties), butharicots verts, fava beans, Thumbelina carrots, Chioggia beets, and sugarsnap peas. Herbs, from basil to thyme, and including bay leaves, fennel, and saffron crocus. Edible Flowers, such as begonias, calendula, pansies, violets, and roses. And perhaps most surprising, Fruits, including apples, peaches, Meyer lemons, blueberries, currants, and figs-yes, even in the colder parts of the country. (Another benefit of container gardening: You can bring the less hardy perennials in over the winter.) There are theme gardens (an Italian cook's garden, a Four Seasons garden), lists of sources, and dozens of sidebars on everything from how to be a human honeybee to seeds that are All America Selections.

Well worth the price.......2007-07-18
There's an endless list of titles devoted to container gardening, but it turns out that not many are useful for growing vegetables. I borrowed several from the library, including Bountiful Container, and this is the only one I found useful. It's a valuable reference tool, so I'll be getting my own copy.
I have never gardened before; my parents and grandparents had gardens as I grew up, which convinced me that I don't have the patience to go out and dig a big plot, then spend hours weeding it. In addition, we live in a condo with a small yard, so containers seemed to be the way to go, if only I could figure out how to successfully coax veggies from a container. Still, nobody I knew had really done this, so I found the book invaluable.
A lot of it may be old news to experienced gardeners, but as a beginner, it was extremely helpful to read what conditions each type of plant liked. There are some notes on design, as well as some great suggestions for themed gardens - I particularly liked the idea of attracting hummingbirds with a vibrant red garden. The book is well organized, with several pages devoted to the planting, care, and harvesting of each plant.
I knocked the book down 1 star because I think a few things should really be added. First, some color photos or illustrations. A previous reviewer mentioned that the illustrations are charming but lacking, and I agree. Second, further information about crops that can be planted twice - I know several cool weather plants can be put in for both spring and fall, which the book also mentions. The book walks through the spring planting, but then doesn't discuss the timing of the fall planting. If I have limited space for growing veggies, I really want to plant as much as I can in cycles, and it'd be helpful to have that information! Finally, some sort of chart that groups together plants which like the same conditions would be an extremely helpful addition to this book. You can get by with notes, but a chart would be a great reference tool.
Best Father's Day Gift Ever!.......2007-07-09
My parents are beginning to feel the effects of the years. This spring, my Dad had serious surgery and he and Mom were both depressed that there could be no vegetable garden this year. What luck that I had stumbled onto the Bountiful Container while doing research for a garden class I was asked to teach this spring. I purchased the book and two self watering containers for them for Mothers and Fathers Days this year and they are having a ball with them! Their garden has always been in the back forty, and now, they are in an "intimate relationship" with their tomatoes, peppers, beans and cucumbers. This book is inspiring and hope building. It's the answer for all of us who don't have time, don't have space, don't have money, and simply don't need the overwhelming bounty of an in-ground vegetable garden. If you are such an expert gardener that you can't learn something new from every listing in this book, why didnt' you write this book? This book will ALWAYS be on my book shelf!
McGee & Stuckey's Bountiful Container: Create Container Gardens of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits and Edible Flowers.......2007-06-01
Will enjoy planting plants in containers of vegetables to eat.
Save your money; the best book around for beginners........2007-05-09
This is hands down the best book on container gardening out there. With the exception of the edible flowers section (unless you're into that sort of thing), it's full of excellent information, from back to front. If you're new to container gardening like I was, I'd suggest that you start here with this book. It's readable, organized exceptionally and just generally well-written and thorough.
Full of Joy and Information.......2007-04-12
I love this book and I will be pulling it out often this growing season. It's packed with very specific information on how to grow every imaginable edible plant --from flowers through vegetables and fruit trees--in containers. You will learn when to plant, which varities do best in containers, whether to start with seed or transplants, how to combine plants in a container for beauty and/or successive harvesting, what size container to use, how often to fertilize and with what, when to harvest...the list goes on and on. The writing itself is delightful, from the descriptions and planting instructions for theme gardens (Victorian Splendor, Tea Time, Childrens' Garden just to name a few) to the history of many of the plants and unusual recipes using the bounty of your containers (Begonia Sorbet, Strawberries with Scented
Geraniums and Creme Fraiche, Stuffed Squash Blossoms with Fresh Tomato Sauce)! The Bountiful Container is a joy to read and really makes you want to get out into your garden and start planting. It's both a feel good book and a very informative book--IMO a rare combination in a reference book. I can't say enough, I'm so glad I bought this book.

His contributions to the Garden Project Workbook series include Beds and Borders, and Fences and Hedges. Ph
Customer Reviews:
Exceedingly well conceived.......2006-03-01
I love this little gem!
This succinct guide contains 20 first class photographed and illustrated projects. Often garden "project" books suffer an utter lack of grace and refinement to the extent of becoming downright gauche. The ideas herein are delightfully decorative and infinitely tasteful.
As an artist and former art director, I respect the quality of illustration, handy layout design, and talented use of resources.
Mr. Bird offered a practical construction idea for cages that provide protection from birds and squirrels. He has a project for fruit trees in pots. A pear "tunnel" - a pergola, or archway covered with pears as a romantic garden feature.
He offers ideas on a charming bean arbor, decorative beds and borders, ways to use PVC pipe in large planters to disburse irrigation water more efficiently; and he offers plans for a very attractive double-groined trellis structure constructed with simple re-bar and installed as an apple arch.
Richard Bird has an innovative "step-over apple hedge" suitable for smaller gardens that is jaw-droppingly elegant. It essentially is an espaliered apple tree with just one horizontal tier that like most of his projects; it is not difficult - but it does require patience, and rewards they that wait.
For a pittance, this is a real jewel of a garden book. I am impressed.
Hard to find the other books in this 10 vol. set.......2003-05-25
I got this book as a "bargain" book at another big name book seller (bn) for about [cheap]. I'm glad I did. Unfortunately, I have yet to use any of the ideas in it, but I have to wait until I get a bigger yard! The book's set up is nice, spiral bound w/fold out pages, great illustrations. The author makes it look so effortless. The instructions that I have read are very thorough, right down to the supplies needed. Over all a nice set up.
Useful applications..........2003-04-26
KITCHEN GARDEN by Richard Bird is one of the many books I've acquired about growing comestibles outside the back door. When purchasing a book, I look for well presented, novel, and useful ideas. KG was printed in China and contains less than perfect but colorful and informative photos, and plenty of useful information. The book includes sections on: 1) vegetable (potager, salad bed), fruit (strawberry bed), and herb plots (taste of Asia); 2) container-grown fruit and vegetables for rooftops and patios; 3) climbing fruit and vegetables (bean arbors and pear tunnels); and 4) decorative beds and borders (apple border, herb border).
Each section includes a photo of a project, such as a potager, printed on a foldout page. Associated with each foldout page is a diagram of the project and other pertinent information including illustrations of various tasks required to execute the project, tool lists, plant lists, and other items. Although some of the presentations require more space than others, even folks living in townhouses with a space no larger than a deck or patio can benefit from the ideas offered in this book.
One of my favorites sections is the `Patio container garden.' You might ask what could anyone say about container gardening that has not already been said, but the answer is plenty. For example, Bird shows you how to secure your recently planted container so that birds and animals don't disturb the contents. Having watched a squirrel roll around one of my containers yesterday (apparently playing, there was nothing in it but soil), I can attest to the random, senseless, and wanton destruction of run-amuck wildlife. Bird also shows in his patio container section how to irrigate a strawberry jar. In all the years I've reviewed books and plant catalogues, I have never seen his novel approach depicted.
If you're looking for a cookbook approach to kitchen gardening, as opposed to an encyclopedia of possibilities where you supply the creative combinations, Bird's book of clearly described and carefully planned projects is a good place to begin. For intermediate gardeners.

“Chock-full of useful advice and will show you dozens of different ways to grow fruit and vegetables in containers. It also has a bunch of delicious recipes.”—Chicago Sun-Times.
Customer Reviews:
Basic, but Useful.......2003-06-21
This is a practical and useful basic book about growing vegetables and herbs in containers. The writer carefully presents the basics of container gardening and offers suggestions for designing container gardens. There is a useful section about pests and diseases and even a short section on harvesting.
Almost half the book is a plant directory, color-coded, divided into herbs, vegetables and fruit, with a few recipes for each.
This is pretty basic stuff, but the book is well focussed and nicely illustrated. It contains the information a novice gardener needs.
Good directory of container plants...........2003-04-13
KITCHEN GARDENS IN CONTAINERS by Antony Atha is a nifty book with beautiful close-up pictures for tired eyes. Atha has created a useful and informative work. He shows the gardener how to make plant containers from scratch (wooden boxes, brick enclosures); convert items into containers (baskets, coffee cans, plastic lined buckets, wheelbarrows, etc.); or use the tried and true containers such as clay pots. He also includes material on how to design with plant containers. One nifty idea I am going to try involves growing combinations of food plants in the same container. I especially like the example of the strawberry jar growing cilantro in the side pockets and eggplants on top.
The back half of Atha's book lists container plants in his "Plant Directory." Not all plants are suited for growing in containers. Furthermore, some plants do well together and some do not. Atha divides his directory into herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Each entry includes information about plant tenderness, size, flower description (food plants have flowers), light requirements, propagation needs, and other information. He color codes the sections: purple for herbs; green for vegetables, and terra cotta for fruit. At the end of each section, he includes recipes for the various items. For example, under herbs you will find a recipe for a chamomile and bran face mask. Under vegetables you will find recipes for Borscht and Gazpacho. The fruit section includes recipes for spiced peaches and damson jam. This is a practical book for gardeners with intermediate skills.

The tomatoes are growing!.......2001-06-19
I'll admit it, gardening has not gone smoothly for me. I have trouble keeping houseplants alive, largely due to neglect. I don't have time for a garden that requires more tending than my children. And I live in an apartment. But there's always been something about growing my own tomatoes that has appealed to me. So when I saw this book, I thought why not? It is a comprehensive guide to growing produce for your table, in small manageable beds or in containers. Just my speed. Plus, it's all organic. No dangerous and expensive chemicals to keep in the house, no worry about toxic overflow onto the neighbor's balcony below.
Three months later, I have plants growing on my balcony. Growing WELL on my balcony. Not just tomatoes, but radishes, cucumbers, lettuce and pole beans (we're still waiting on the watermelon, but we only planted it last week), mostly in plastic storage tubs with holes drilled in the bottom. We've actually eaten some of them--just like they were grown in a great big garden, with actual ground! The advice in this book is very easy to follow, from what to grow your container veggies in to what varieties to plant (and you can actually FIND these varieties, unlike the froufrou ones recommended in some books that have to be specially shipped from Asia or Europe) and how to harvest them once they've produced. There's a guide to pests (even containers get them) and suggestions for controlling them naturally. The only piece of advice you need that this book doesn't have is this -- if you don't have a compost pile (which is unlikely if you live in a second floor apartment), you can buy humus mixed with manure at your local garden center and it works just as well. Now, buy the book and start growing!
A well organized book full of helpful tips and guidelines.......2000-06-06
I would not say this is the difinitive "kitchen garden book." But it does have a plethora of information. While many gardening books give examples of vegetable plots, this is the first one that photographs the site and then numbers all the plants. It makes it very clear which plant is which instead of having to guess. The book is organized in a straightforward manner from the planning to harvest. Their reference section is extremely comprehensive. One of the sections that I found particularly easy to read is the Plant Selection Guide for both herbs and vegetables. All of the plants are lined up with their basic planting requirements: planting depth, sun/partial sun, zones, etc. There is an interesting array of receipts that I will have to try..."Pear, Watercresss, and Lentil Salad" and "Root Vegetable and Apple Stew." Overall, this is a solid vegetable gardening book with loads of advice especially on herbs.

Potager Planning!.......2000-03-24
The concept of a potager, or kitchen garden appeals to me greatly. I very much want my garden to be ornamental as well as edible. Somewhat similar to the idea of "edible landscaping", potagers often intermingle vegetables, herbs, and flowers, sometimes planting them in geometric shapes. Sort of a more formal, yet informal garden. Colorful. Interesting. Not your garden-variety garden. I've been looking for online articles and for books on potagers, which seem to be popular in England, but hard to find in the United States. I haven't been able to find much information on them.
Country Home's Kitchen Garden Planner by Darrell Trout is just what I was looking for. It takes the reader through mini-tours of thirteen different American potagers, with text, photographs, and a plan (illustrated map) for each garden. A few of the individual plant varieties are somewhat unusual, but they described and keyed to commercial sources. The one defect that I found was that a couple of the sources seem to be omitted from the index, or perhaps there was a typo, a minor flaw in an otherwise exciting book. The last chapter talks about basic gardening in general. I only wish there was more on potagers in the Midwest where I live. Then again, where I live, there is wheat as far as the eye can see and not much else.
I really like this book. I wanted ideas for designing a potager and this book has given me lots of ideas. It is strong on the visuals, which I wanted, but also has informative text. Plus, I can just copy or modify one of the garden designs in the book to suit my needs, personal preferences, and growing zone until my own style evolves.

Great beginners book............2003-03-08
In the words of a local newspaper, grass is out and vegetables are in - even in the urban yard. KITCHEN GARDENS are the most "in" of all gardens and this handy little book by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a good place to start if you're thinking about growing your own vegetables at home. The book is small but loaded with information. Although some of the photographs show acreage not often found inside the city, many of the photos and suggestions are helpful for smaller patches. Topics such as optimizing space by rotating crops, sticking plants in unusual places (along the driveway), windowsill gardening, and the old standby container gardening are all discussed. You can dig up the back yard, the side yard, and the front yard and plant a mix of vegetables and flowers (which are often edible).
KG provides lists of plants you might grow, including a variety of tomatoes. My new nursery catalogues have arrived and one of them (White Flower Farm) offers a package of three of the tomato plants recommended by this book. Tomatoes aren't the only things you can grow, however. Beans, eggplants, carrots, and peppers can all be found in the kitchen garden. Okra, squash, and other vining plants can be escorted up trellises and over fences. You might grow greens and other plants that require good drainage in raised beds. Nothing like a bowl of fresh mesclun salad or a pot of steamed baby pac choi you just picked.
I like the book because it shows you how to get started with "environmentally friendly" kitchen gardening. The book is attractive to look at and pleasant to read, and it organizes many good ideas under one cover. This is a good buy for the beginner who might not want to invest a great deal of money in a bigger more expensive book but wants first-class information from the experts. About one-quarter of the book covers regional variations in kitchen gardening (about 6-7 pages per region). Given you probably live in one of the regions discussed, you should be able to use most of the book.
Not the most comprehensive book on kitchen gardens.......2002-03-15
For those who want their vegetable gardens to provide bountiful harvest as well as being aesthetically pleasing, the kitchen garden is the way to go. The addition of flowers and other non-vegetable plants add colour and dimension to a garden that would otherwise be fairly mundane and drab. As the book discusses, there are essentially two kitchen garden traditions: the English and the French (Potagers). Aside from the short discussion on these two variations, the book contains much that is familiar to any but the most novice gardener. The latter portion of the book is devoted to recommended varieties of vegetables for five basic growing regions of North America. While I always find such overviews interesting, in my opinion it diminishes the usefulness of the book.

The Postage Stamp Kitchen Garden Book.......2000-06-20
Good information for my small vegetable gardening purposes. Informative charts covering seed germination, soil nutrient deficiency, spacing suggestions, heat content of various chiles and more. Especially liked the many layout suggestions for an intensive garden. Many sources for specific vegetables in six different kitchen gardens including vegetarian, French and Mexican. Clever ideas for container gardening. My only negative comment: I found the small size of the book to be awkward.

While undoubtedly full of helpful information, this book's writing style is so inaccessible and so patently full of grammatical error that any such useful information is difficult to appreciate. The full-color photographs are nice, but they tend to repeat throughout the book, and they just can't make up for the writing.

Product Description
Reyner Banham once observed that in Los Angeles "mobility outweighs monumentality." What was true for the automobile is fast becoming true for the home. It is possible today to live on wheels, to be completely transient and yet remain completely connected. Noted contemporary architect Ted Kane takes a critical look at how city life predicated on total mobility and utterly dependent upon the corporate-controlled wireless world is expanding the meaning of urbanity while constricting the bedrock virtue of citizenship. It is possible today to live on wheels, to be completely transient and yet remain completely connected. In Polar Inertia, Ted Kane's snapshot-like photographs accompanied by his critical writing examine the transformative qualities of cell phones, satellite dishes, RV's, and taco trucks on urban form. An absolute "must have" handbook to anyone thinking of an alternative lifestyle while still connected to their Blackberry. Introduction by Greg Goldin.
