There is no more than a mention of a kitchen garden in Markham's Hus-wife.
Gardening is covered much more extensively in his English Husbandman.

"History celebrates the battlefields whereon we meet our death, but scorns
to speak of the plowed fields whereby we thrive. It knows the names of the
king's bastards but cannot tell us the origin of wheat. This is the way of
human folly." -- Jean-Henri Fabre
