With few exceptions -- such as corn and pumpkins -- Everything edible that's grown in a traditional garden can be raised in a container. An extraordinarily complete, plant-by-plant guide written by two seasoned container gardeners and writers, 'The Bountiful Container' covers vegetables -- not just tomatoes (17 varieties) and peppers (19 varieties), but haricots verts, fava beans, Thumbelina carrots, and sugarsnap peas; herbs, from basil to thyme; edible flowers; and perhaps most surprising, fruits, including apples, peaches, Meyer lemons, blueberries, currants, and figs -- yes, even in the colder parts of the country. less
