I love this little book

Ok, I admit I am only an amature, and a week-end one at that, but gardening is my passion. All winter long I drool over gardening books until the weather warms up enough to go out and dig in the dirt. Laying in bed at night, my mind is moving perennials and planting annuals. I have been known to call into work with mysterious aliments on bright sunny days where the cure unfailingly is digging up a new flower bed. Well, these are my qualifications for making a review of The Gardner's Handbook. I have found it to be extremely through, well thought out and easy to interpret. It is my very favorite gardening book. There are others that are certainly more detailed, but no one has covered as much ground in so small a volume as Mr. Buczacki. And the nice handy size of the book is also a plus! This is a good housewarming gift to folks who are first-time yard owners, as well. Happy gardening.
