Vegetables, fruit trees, and medicinal plants have been cultivated in gardens long before decorative flowers and shrubs began to conquer these spaces.

For modern people, food production near the home is no longer a survival necessity; ornamental plants have gradually taken the leading role. Only tomatoes, cabbage, and lettuce grown in one’s own garden seem to taste better than those bought from the store.

Alongside this, we know about the plants we grow: how and under what conditions they were cultivated, and what chemical treatments we applied. This book, published in the "Our Garden" collection, is a useful guide for those who wish to harvest vegetables from their own garden, presenting advice and descriptions of the necessary work both for establishing and caring for such a garden.
