Annuals: A Growing Guide for Easy, Colorful Gardens

This book was extremely helpful to me. I had some spots in the garden that needed color, but I wanted the option to change the look from year to year. Annuals were the answer. This book gave me many choices, color combinations and plant combinations that I never would have thought of. I grow all of my annual flowers from seed to save money, so it was very helpful in that respect as well.
