1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 31, 2011
This book is a generic gardening book with a few pages at the beginning listing frost-free dates, average precipitation, and hardiness zones for Louisiana. They list apples and asparagus in the selection guides with no discussion of chilling times. I was hoping for detailed information based on actual trials with suggestions for varieties suitable for my state. I was disappointed.
