"Manga artist and passionate home gardener Hideki Yoda illustrates the joy and simplicity of creating a small home garden--everything from setting up rows and preparing soils to building trellises. Hundreds of color photos and playful drawings guide you through the steps and give great advice on what to grow, when to plant it, maximizing space, making good compost, companion planting, chemical-free pest and weed control, and lots more. And Yoda's lighthearted illustrations and cartoon 'assistants' keep it all fun as they show you how to grow over 50 varieties of veggies, fruits, and herbs. Have fun and enjoy your tasty, beautiful home-grown foods!"--Page 4 of cover.
