Fruiting crops reward attention to timing, balance, and care—with harvests that can anchor a whole season Tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, beans, and melons are among the most productive—and demanding—crops in a garden or market farm. Fruiting Vegetables: A Grower's Guide offers clear, practical guidance for managing these crops successfully, using proven biointensive methods that support strong plants, steady yields, and healthy soils. Rooted in The Market Gardener Method, this highly accessible, beautifully illustrated guide focuses on decisions that make the biggest difference: variety selection, timing, fertility, and crop care. Rather than treating each crop in isolation, it shows how fruiting vegetables fit into a well-planned, human-scale growing system.
