Consider Grow Great Grub by Gayla Trail.
“Gayla Trail writes in a friendly, pragmatic tone that makes small-space growing feel doable. Potting, windowsill herbs, balcony salads and compact vegetables get clear, usable tips and troubleshooting. What works best is bite-sized, location-aware advice that helps beginners start edible plants without backyard space. The main limitation is a practical, anecdotal focus—don’t expect deep soil science, crop-rotation plans, or structured hands-on exercises; readers seeking technical depth may find the coverage light.”
