I loved the monthly to-do lists for each USDA hardiness zone. Now I know what I need to do each month to keep my garden running smoothly. I love Rodale books and this one is no exception. I found this book helpful, informative and inspiring. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to start their own seeds indoors or just needing a good gardening book.
