One of the latest trends in home horticulture is regional gardening, but most popular garden books and syndicated columns are written by authors on the East or West coasts. Possum in the Pawpaw Tree is aimed at the heartland of the United States, where "normal" weather means bitter winters, torrential spring rains, and summer drought. The material here is arranged to provide a handy month-by-month guide for indoor and outdoor gardening activities, both for the novice and the more experienced gardener.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
For a folksy approach to garden matters, this calendar of activities fills the bill. Lerner and Netzhammer aim their guide at midwestern gardening conditions and offer a no-nonsense point of view when explaining such gardening basics as amending soil, dividing perennials, or starting a new lawn. Beginners and those gardeners with some prior experience should find a helpful ally here, with general tips on everything from houseplant culture during winter's doldrums to suggestions for keeping raccoons away from the sweet corn. Gift and home decor ideas include recipes for potpourri and instructions for pressing flowers and creating simple holiday decorations from garden cuttings. Alice Joyce
