5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, February 13, 2008

This review is from: Month-by-Month Gardening in Texas: Revised Edition: What to Do Each Month to Have a Beautiful Garden All Year (Paperback)

This is a fantastic book for all gardeners, new and experienced. If you use "To-Do" lists, this book will keep you on track. The book is separated by month and by type of gardening including chapters on: lawns, trees, perennial flowers, annual flowers, shrubs, bulbs, houseplants, roses, ground covers, and vegetables.

My only complaint is that if you do many types of gardening, you have to look in many chapters to find the information. For example, I have a vegetable garden, enjoy flowers and want to keep my lawn looking nice. So, I have to look into three different chapters each month to find the information.

The good news is that the information is in there. If I had one book to buy, I'd first buy, Neil Sperry's Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening, 2nd Edition book. I would then save my money and buy this one. It is worth the money.
