Crops in Pots: 50 cool containers planted with fruit, vegetables and herbs
£0.60
There are few things more rewarding than picking your own homegrown ingredients for a salad, pasta dish or stew. The flavour of freshly harvested produce is far superior to anything you can buy in the supermarket. What’s more, you have the satisfaction knowing that it was your own handiwork, and you’re able to control whether or not to use chemicals.
You don’t need a huge amount of space in order to get a worthwhile crop. A wide range of edible plants can be grown successfully in containers and many are just as much a delight to the eye as to the tastebuds.
This book has 50 great ideas for growing fruit and vegetables in containers. Your hanging baskets, window boxes and pots will be colourful, beautiful to look at and produce plentiful crops.

Great little gem of a book. Quick and easy ideas for ornamental veg pots. For 99p its excellent value for money.
by Katwoo
Amazing book explaining the art of growing vegetables alongside flowers for effect. I have now tried several of the ideas and hopefully my plants will grow as well as those shown. It is a great book for first time vegetable growers. It is really well illustrated with lots of photos and gives you recipes which I will be trying throughout the summer months. Who knew you could mix chillis with lobellia for effect.
Everything is clearly written and easy to understand. I am so happy with this book and would recommend to any budding gardeners.

Some good ideas but didn’t blow me away. Probably good for beginners and those with moderate experience.
A bit uncomfortable about one or two things.I realise the intention is to make veg in pots more attractive by growing with some non edibles. There are indeed lots of examples. Some are well signposted, but a bit concerned at combining peas and sweet peas as it could be poss to accidentally pick toxic sweet pea pods if a virgin gardener or planting with kids.
