Summary: For the Neophyte Salad Gardener
Comment: There is no doubting the significance of the salad in our diet, but alas, the nature of agriculture is such that many of the ingredients that we use in salads are bombarded with chemicals of all sorts. And not only that, now they want to muck about with the genetics of the plants as well. What's the solution? Grow your own salads. As we learn from Salad Gardens, yet another in the informative Brooklyn Botanic Garden series, this is by no means as preposterous suggestion as it may sound (especially to those with limited space). With just a small plot of land, one can grow all the lettuce, spinach, kale, tomatoes and chard etc. that one needs for a daily supply of salad. For those with limited space, there is the option of growing lettuce and other components in containers using varieties especially suited for this purpose. I found this book quite interesting, and it has succeeded in altering my garden plans for the coming season to include more salad-related vegetables (I'll pass on the flowers, though). Without hesitation it is a good book.
