This guy knows gardens,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pennsylvania Gardener: All about Gardening in the Keystone State (Hardcover)
Anyone who lives in the Tri-State area would appriciate the writtings of this guy. Whether you're a novice (like me) or a green thumb. He lists all plants that grow in the area, it's practically idiot-proof for those of you just starting out, without making a mistake on planting the plant somewhere that it's won't grow so hot. I'm just starting out on one of these postage-size plots of land that builders now built new homes, and with the cost of plants as it is, it's nice this guy lists plants that will thrive in your area, dates of planting, a massive good info on soil, and good tips. He saves you a lot of headaches. Unfortunately there is a lot of good text description but no pictures of the plants to identify, if you're like me - get a simple plant encyclopedia to see whats hes talking about. Otherwise good writting, not boring to actually read it, good "layman's English" desciptions and topics.
