Follow 30 tried-and-tested container recipes for top tasting crop combinations such as tomato with basil, fruit salads and cut-and-come-again vegetables. Discover the essential techniques that every container-gardener should know and use the crop directory to find out the best way to grow more than 60 vegetables, fruit, salads, herbs and edible flowers.

About Kay Maguire

Kew-trained author and gardener Kay Maguire is skilled in the techniques of growing crops in pots, and finds space to trial hundreds of new and trusted fruit, vegetables, salads and herbs in her tiny London garden. As former Horticultural Editor of BBC Gardeners' World magazine she is a consummate communicator to an audience of wide ability and discerning taste on the precise, sometimes tricky, growing methods that containers require. A talented cook, she knows a tasty crop when she tries it, and through her efforts she is almost self-sufficient.
