 | Big Reds- How to Grow Tomatoes 46How to Grow Tomatoes- Growing tomatoes isn't rocket science, so why not give it a go? | | 3 vegies you can grow in 10 weeks7 It takes just over two months from planting to have these vegies on the table |  | How to Grow Soya Beans6 Among the most nutritious of all the legumes, soya beans are an especially valuable source of protein for vegetarians. Birds like them, too, so this crop is well worth netting. If you delay sowing part of the crop until midsummer, you can extend the cropping period well into autumn. |  | How to Grow Onions6 Onions are among the most versatile of vegetables, essential to so many recipes that the gardener faces a challenge keeping up with the demand from the kitchen. However, most demand can be met by careful planning, and by planting the right varieties at the right time. In warm areas onions can be planted in spring, autumn and winter. In cool areas, with short summers, planting time is more critical and slightly different procedures are followed in such regions. |  | How to Grow Lettuce3 There are several types and hundreds of varieties of lettuce to choose from. Iceberg (crisphead) lettuces have crisp juicy leaves and form a cabbage-like head. Butterhead lettuces have soft tender leaves, loosely packed into heads, and cos (romaine) lettuces have upright, narrow, packed, self-blanching heads. |  | How to Grow Asian Vegetables- Bok Choy, Cabbage, Broccoli2 Asian diets are notable for being very healthy, with large quantities of vegetables prepared with the minimum of cooking – steamed or stir-fried to preserve flavour, texture and colour. A wide variety of leafy green vegetables have been developed, as a walk through any Asian market will show. Asian cooks shop daily for the most and tender greens. Home gardeners can enjoy these leafy green vegetables fresh rather than buying them, often looking somewhat tired, from the supermarket. |  | How to Grow Mushrooms2 ‘Mushroom’ is a term used to describe several edible fungi. The familiar button, or white cap, mushroom is a close relative of the wild mushrooms that grow in pastureland and open woodlands in autumn and spring. It is the most commonly cultivated, although several other species are readily available to the home gardener, especially the chestnut, Swiss brown, oyster and shiitake. |  | How to Grow Pumpkins & Winter Squash2 ‘Pumpkin’ is not a well-defined term. In Australia it refers to winter squash that are usually of excellent eating quality, having fine-grained and richly coloured flesh with a wide variety of culinary uses. Elsewhere, the term may be used almost contemptuously for food fit for animal fodder, a reflection in part on the varieties grown and the suitability of the climate. |  | How to Grow Shallots2 True shallots are the most delicately flavoured of the true onions, multiplying into easily separated clumps of up to 12 bulbs, and much prized by cooks. Shallots are sometimes confused with spring onions, which are young onions harvested when green and leafy, before their bulbs have enlarged. |  | How to plant vegetables in pots2 Grow edible plants anywhere with enough sunlight |
