Master the art of growing tomatoes, peppers, squash, and other fruiting vegetables

Bursting with flavor and packing a powerful nutritional punch, fruiting vegetables produce their prized bounty after flowering. This essential guide covers everything you need to know to cultivate more than a dozen of the most popular species including tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, melons, beans, peas, and a selection of lesser-known horticultural treasures.

This highly accessible, succinct, and beautifully illustrated full-color reference contains:

  • An introduction to the Market Gardener Method—a proven formula for successful, small-scale biointensive microfarming suitable for everyone from hobbyists to professionals
  • An overview of the characteristics, history and uses of the major families of fruiting vegetables such as curcurbits (gourds), fabaceae (legumes), and solanaceae (nightshades)
  • A detailed cultivation manual featuring Jean-Martin's favourite varieties, covering sowing, transplanting, crop maintenance, harvest, storage, and more.
  • Grower's Guides from the Market Gardener is a collection of practical handbooks designed to provide everyone from novice gardeners to seasoned farmers with information to grow better, using Jean-Martin Fortier's principles of biointensive, regenerative agriculture at a human scale.
