Month by Month Gardening in the Deserts of AZ

Mary Irish separates all the different plant groups of the southwest, such as Cactii, Perennials, Annuals, Bulbs, Vegetables, etc, and then writes a 12-month calendar for each subject. It is very handy to look up the particular month in question to see what needs to be done, or to get information on planting during the colder months. She talks about planting, watering, fertilizing, possible pests, pruning, and other helpful hints for each group. A very informative book for anyone in the Arizona southwest.
