Review
This illustrated book deals with all aspects of salad gardening and offers details on 200 salad plants while emphasising organic methods of gardening.
The book is a must. It is beautiful to look at and the photographs enable me at last to identify the many different leafy salad plants I can grow. (Southern Star )

Format:Paperback
An excellent introduction and reference book for growing salad plants. The usual supects are covered as well as some rather more obscure ones. Creatively illustrated with marvelous photography, Larkcom firstly arranges chapters of salad plants such as stems and stalks, fruiting vegetables etc., as you would expect, but also flowers, herbs and wild plants. She then turns her attention to cultivation and finally ends with a few recipes. Anyone interested in starting a small kitchen garden, allotment or potager will find this invaluable and desperately inspiring. Joy Larkcom has been growing food since the seventies and her knowlege and clear style are inspiring.

As a beginner gardener, I find this book an inspiration, especially with the photos showing exactly what the leaf looks like. The recipes at the end of the book are also fantastic.

Super-Organic Salad Gardening
3 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When a book is entirely based on organic gardening principles and practices I take notice. And when the focus is on growing more than 200 salad plants, and the book covers every aspect from site preparation to harvesting, and detailing special techniques for growing salad plants, and containing full descriptions of all the main salad vegetables with advice on the best varieties for growing and for flavor - as one reviewer puts it .... I simply cannot and will not hesitate to purchase it. And I have not been disappointed. Beyond belief. Everything and anything I have EVER wanted to know about salad gardening - whew !!!!!!!!!!! My goodness Ms Joy Larkcom - as you say in your Introduction this book indeed has been a 'voyage of discovery". And likewise for me. You have given me insights and new thoughts I never would have dreamed possible. My salad garden is never going to be the same because you do not just talk about lettuce - you share with us insights into not only the leafy salad plants - but the stems and stalks, fruiting vegetables, the onion family, rooting vegetables, peas and beans, herbs, flowers, and an extra special blessing 'wild plants'. Then to top it all off we are more than blessed throughout the book with the incredible full color photography of Roger Phillips; plus, adding to this Mr. Phillips surprises us with images in an advanced photographic technique in the manner of botanical drawings that gives us a book that you will want to treasure.
