I've grown flowers for years in outdoor containers.  But I've always wanted to try growing some veggies.  I picked up this book to learn the basics.  One fact I learned is that 1 tomato plant can provide enough tomatoes for 1 family.  If you think about the cost of tomatoes and other veggies then the appeal of container gardening becomes clear.Alice covers everything you need to know.  There's a great section on picking the actual containers and what to look for.  You'll learn about the importance of soil PH, evaluating the how to select fruit and veggies to grow,  whether to plant from seed or use seedlings, how to plant, the lighting conditions you'll be using, growing indoors or outside, different ways of watering, how to deal with pests.This book is crammed with all of the information you'll need to be a successful container gardener.Highly recommended.
