As an excellent resource for the creation of an organic rainbow garden of unusually colored vegetables and fruits, such as red corn and yellow watermelon, this book provides young gardeners simple, clear information about ordering and selecting seeds, the preparation of soil, planting, watering and weeding as well as organic methods of fertilization and pest control. The second part of the book offers detailed instructions for the care of each of the eight rainbow vegetables and fruits of the garden and for an easy-to-make recipe after harvest.
