Summary

"This is a compendium of practical advice for the home gardener, arranged by month. The individual bits of advice for each month are arranged as follows: general advice; advice for the vegetable garden (including herbs); and advice for ornamental plants (further subdivided into the outdoor garden, terrace and balcony, and windowsill and houseplants). There is also a massive section of charts at the back of the book. The advice is applicable to U.S. gardens in Zones 4-8, and is supplemented by helpful, accurate line drawings. The breadth of information presented is truly encyclopedic--every topic that a home gardener could possibly be interested in is presented somewhere in the book's pages"--
