Book about urban gardening?
This is the second year that I'm planting more than just a few herbs in containers on my roof. I've learned a few things, but am looking for a good book with some tips and guidelines about what an urban gardener can grow. Anyone have a book they like and would recommend?

I posted about this just recently:
Deck Gardening
In their comment, someone suggested this book: McGee and Stuckey's Bountiful Container.
I have not picked it up yet, but intend to. It looks very helpful!

I don't know if you're using an Earthbox(es) or not but they are really great for growing vegetables or whatever with almost no effort. There are directions online for making your own earth box, which worked just as well as the name brand box. Try it out if you haven't already! Good luck!

You absolutely MUST get McGee and Stuckey's "Bountiful Container", widely considered to be the bible on container gardening. I am starting one on the back porch for the first time this year as well. The book has been phenomenally helpful in making plans and arrangements.
