The
Back Yard Berry Book Paperback - 288 pages (April 1995) Otto Graphics; ISBN: 0963452061 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.80 x 8.97 x 6.01 |
Recommended Book
In the late 20th century, unfortunately, berries are
seen primarily in the supermarket at certain times of
year, and while this is welcome, it used to be that
everyone had a few berry bushes in the backyard: some
currants, some gooseberries and a few rhubarb plants.
Stella Otto explains how to bring this tradition back and
raise lush crops of berries and fruit with pointers on
soil nutrition, plant nutrients and mulching that will
make your home-grown berries the envy of folks who only
see them in the supermarket. This mouth-watering book
will get you going.

A readable introduction to botany for non-scientists
How do plants grow? What exactly is photosynthesis?
How did plants evolve and how do they adapt to
environmental stress? What does each part of a flower do?
How do plants reproduce and pass on their genes?
This highly readable introduction to how plants work answers all these questions and more, always looking at botany from a gardener's point of view. Capon explains the structure and function of plants in clear, understandable language, including and defining all the relevant scientific terms. The book introduces readers to cell structure and function, plant growth processes, the many ways plants adapt to protect themselves from predators and the environment, and how plants meet their basic needs for food and water. Photosynthesis, reproduction, and the aging process are explained, and the fascinating processes necessary for the transmission of genes are discussed in detail. Excellent color photos, line drawings, and diagrams accompany the lucid text. Botany for Gardeners never ceases to receive fan mail from grateful plant lovers who now look at plants in a whole new way.
