5.0 out of 5 stars
Gee wiz, she knows her stuff!,
This review is from: The Massachusetts Gardener's Companion: An Insider's Guide to Gardening from the Berkshires to the Islands (Gardening Series) (Paperback)
Barbara is obviously a very talented writer and she's created a no-nonsense, down-to-earth book loaded with information that is actually helpful. So many books provide little information that is truly useful, but her book is loaded with information and Internet links for more helpful tips.
