There is a lot more to this book than what meets the eye. January 1, 2001 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book covers what to grow, where to grow and how to grow. There are color pictures in the middle to entice and encourage you. You get good tips on how to handle pests and pets (they are different). Different types of soil and drainage are covered. You get garden layout plans and containers for those of us that want to move the plants around a lot. This book does too good of a job. I was counting of a good number of the plants dying so I could try new ones. However these animals just keep coming back even after freezes. I also have a simple system for Morning glories; toss the seeds over the fence.
Excellent reference book for beginners April 8, 1999 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I loved this book! I have my first garden this year, and since I rent, I can only plant annuals. This book has tons of information about what types of plants to choose, and the different heights, several garden plans and further resources. The only thing I didn't like about it, was there was no real zoning information, except very general. Some of the plants may not grow in my area that are suggested in the book, according to a local garden center.
