Reviews:
Beginner Gardener: As a beginner, gardening can be difficult but this book is a big help. Fruit, veggies, perennials, annuals, herb, roses, bulbs, etc. with tons of color pictures. My step-mother and sister-in-law would love to have this book and I paid the list $ at a popular book store here in town. Amazon: great price!!
new is not better: Upon ordering this item I found several items either missing or lacking. The original had much more information on a broader narative. I a dissapointed with my purchace and of readers digest. There is a readon the previous editions were raved over. I found the deletion of the house plant section and the deletion of several over views of plant propegation of several species and varieties in addition to gardening in small spaces and green house gardening dissapointing. Better luck next time
Essential: As someone who doesn't have the money to go buying plants and shrubs to fill the yard, this book has become an invaluable resource. It goes into depth on how to propogate plants, trees, and shrubs, how to take offshoots, how to graft, and how to start from seeds. The info in here is priceless and this book has been in constant use since I purchased it. A must have for every gardener.
