This review is from: Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guide to Cold Climate Gardening: How to Select and Grow the Best Vegetables and Ornamental Plants for the North (Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guides (Houghton Mifflin)) (Paperback)
It was the book I was looking for. Contains a significant amount of helpful information. In particular, the information on which items complement eachother in the growing cycle. I would definately recommend it for the home gardener.

Not Cold Climate Gardening,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guide to Cold Climate Gardening: How to Select and Grow the Best Vegetables and Ornamental Plants for the North (Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guides (Houghton Mifflin)) (Paperback)
Zone 5 is not cold climate gardening! Book is a waste for those who truly live in cold climates.
