Best Year Round Reference Ever!
When I first started dabbling in gardening at our last home, I thought that if I liked a plant, put it in the ground with some dirt & poured water on top, it would flourish... needless to say, many of those sad little plants suffered tragic deaths.
Pat Welsh's book opened a new door to gardening for me. Not only does she give you the basics on how to plant & care for various plants, she also shows you which plants are appropriate for our climate - often the nurseries carry many plants that are not going to thrive, but she gently guides you in the right direction.
Most importantly, though, she hands you a comprehensive to-do list for each month - I still pick 1-2 items each month to try, while following her directions of caring for my existing landscaping.
For the beginning gardener and/or gardener new to southern California, this is an indispensible tool - so here are my top faves about the book:
PLANT GUIDE (i.e. which bulbs will naturalize, which require more care; which azaleas should you look for; difference between varieties)
MONTH-BY-MONTH to-do LIST
FERTILIZING TECHNIQUES
Happy Gardening & Enjoy!!
Gardening book
Item was in great condition and delivered in a timely manner. No problems of any sort.
Fantastic Book
This is a wonderful step by step book. I was always at a loss on what to do each month being a new gardener and all, but this takes all the guess work out of it. Each month has its own chapter and an exact list of what to do that month, everything from what to plant and feed to what to prune and etc.
Thanks Pat for an awesome book. My family thanks you for the awesome vegetables you have helped me grow!!
God Bless!
