From Seed to Table: Growing, Harvesting, Cooking, and Preserving Food

A Reference Book for Vegetable Gardening

From Seed to Table offers the personal experiences of one couple who grow their own vegetables. Starting with winter, the book follows each season from the garden to the table. Gardening suggestions--as used by Robert and Patricia Zick from their experiences in gardening in western Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida--are given along with tips and recipes for preserving and canning. The Zicks hope their experience with organic gardening will inspire others to grow their own food and to eat local food as much as possible. While not an exhaustive reference for all gardening, preserving, and cooking techniques, it is filled with firsthand experience from an experienced gardener and a veteran cook.

From Seed to Table provides methods for starting seeds and preparing the soil for the seedlings. Gardening techniques from composting to raised bed gardening are provided. The book also gives many recipes for making tomato sauce, salsa, and salads, as well as the methods for canning, freezing, and preserving many other vegetables.
