Customer Reviews

Valuable tool for the NH gardener!

This is an excellent resource tool for all NH gardeners. I wish I had this book BEFORE I started planting! I would have benefited from the tips the author provides! Very useful information!!

THE book for New Hampshire gardeners

Homeyer is targeting a small audience with this practical tome, but this may well be the best, if not the only, book of its kind. He gives plenty of practical advice for New Hampshire gardenders that I wish I had had years ago, such as how to grow peppers and eggplants and the futility of trying to grow celery. My one wish is that Homeyer had included more information about herbs. I was specifically hoping for some advice on lavender and what varieties are best for NH. Overall, though, this is a very useful book.

Great Book

This is the garden book you want if you live in N.H. It is the book you want if you live anywhere with a winter. I do not know the author but would love to hear him give a seminar.

Perfect Book for NH Gardeners

The New Hampshire Gardener's Companion is the best practical gardening guide that I have ever read. It confirmed much of the knowledge that I've acquired in 23 years of trial and error gardening in the Granite State. Additionally, I picked up new information about organic gardening, native plants, and more. The book is a must for novices (you can save yourself time and money.) For the seasoned gardener your suspicions will be confirmed and some "holes" in your gardening data base could be filled in. This book should be sold in nurseries throughout the state.
