This is a wonderful book that covers all the basics of container gardening. It includes some diagrams/instructions for large containers with multiple plantings, as well as information for how to grow a single type of plant by itself in a container.
In addition to the general info on container gardening, the authors have drawn up an extensive section with information that simply covers how to grow different types of veggies - all the basic info (varieties, sun/shade, how much water) etc, useful both if you are container gardening and if you just don't know anything about tomatoes.
It didn't take more than a quick perusal of this for me to decide to buy it. I'm looking forward to using it to plan out an expanded container garden next year (hopefully I will still have a space to do this!).

This is THE book to get if you want to plant edible plants in a container. It doesn't have *everything* like weird strains of heirloom tomatoes, but it's a good general book telling you when you should plant something, how big the container, how much sun, etc. It's also full of helpful tidbits and even a list of places where you can order seeds in the back.

A nice reference book for those of us who can't plant a full garden. It covers most aspects of container gardening, except what you are supposed to do about the soil once the crop is finished. And we haven't been successful with several plants that they recommend. I guess that isn't really their fault (so it isn't affecting the rating). The problem with container gardening is that it can quickly get very expensive...

TONS of information from planning, planting, harvesting, to using edible plants. Could have included more illustrations to aid comprehension.

The gardener's bible. Anything you'll ever want to know about container gardening will in here. It's the only book you'll need or want to refer to.

A great resource! My go-to whenever I need to look up information on putting a plant into a pot. I just moved and this was invaluable in helping me convert from a traditional garden to a container garden (and everything is doing great).
