'Kitchen gardeners, the traditional backyard growers of edible plants, have been tending family gardens for some ten thousand years, and Kitchen Gardening in America is their first written history.

Starting in the ancient days of cultivation among native Americans, the narrative illuminates the evolution of Indian hills to English raised beds to straight rows; it describes the development of plants, fertilizers, and insect control; and it follows the story of the men and women who have participated in this great folk ritual. Vegetable gardening has evolved.
