In this book, Carl Klaus keeps a daily journal during one growing season in his home garden in Iowa. In addition to gardening, he also touches upon his marriage, his wife's cancer, his impending retirement and his neighbors/community.

As a reader who can't get enough information on gardening, I really appreciated this longtime gardener's bits of wisdom. I find it fascinating to read not only about what and how he plants, but the mouthwatering meals he and his wife cook from those plants.

I think his passages on retirement would resonate much more with someone facing that issue. I had a hard time relating to that part of the book.

Overall, I have really enjoyed this book and have made so many gardening notes all over it you can barely see the pages.

Quick shipping. Book arrived just as it was described. This was a great read especially for my wife and I as we are gardeners.

This is a fun read by a dedicated gardener. It's a fun way to learn growing dos and dont's by someone who really knows.
