Cheater's guide! Help yourself and your plants.

I guess I didn't expect to really like this book, and I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps I have bad associations with month-by-month instructionals. At anyrate, I was completely won over. This book is handy, handy, handy. If you live in NY or a similar climate with the extreme winter and tropical summer, this is a helpful reminder. I garden professionally and still rely on it as a task list just to remind myself when my brain's on overload. Plant categories are covered separately month-by-month which was a little confusing at first glance--why not have all plants listed in monthly sections, but no matter. The categories are: Annuals and Biennials; Bulbs, Corms, Rhizomes, and Tubers; Herbs and Vegetables; Houseplants; Lawns; Perennials; Roses; Shrubs; Trees; Vines, Ground Covers, and Ornamental Grasses; and Water and Bog Plants. Pretty comprehensive. Buy it and make your gardening a little easier!

Helpful reference book I'll use time and time again

Clear, concise format -- a little redundant in spots (did we really need to be reminded in every section that January is the month to get our 'wish list' together?) but I expect this expenditure to pay for itself several times over. Thanks!
