Description
. An Ashmead's Kernel apple strokes the taste buds with its honey spice with a dash of lemon flavor. Nuanced salty sweet with myriad undertones flood large slices of mahogany Black Krim tomatoes from Russia. Consumers seek these tasty and colorful treats in the autumn at apple orchards and frequent farmers' markets where they search for fruits and vegetables with more flavor, color and complexity than those in a grocery store. Author Doreen Howard captures the rich flavors of eighteen heirloom edibles in "Heirloom, Vegetables, Herbs, and Fruits." This artistically photographed book highlights the splendor of heirloom edibles, their heritage, their flavor, their benefits, and their numerous varieties. Planting, growing, harvesting, and seed-saving information are also included. This book is also written to inform and inspire gardeners to preserve the pure, rich flavor of the past for the benefit of future generations.
