From Library Journal
With the authority of an experienced gardener and writer, Reich shares a gardening year in New Paltz, New York. His diary of garden observations and work with vegetables and flowers focuses on plant care that is common in the Northeast, Midwest, and other areas in that plant range. Reich has a fine sense of the level of gardening activity that successful growers need to maintain throughout the year. There is not a lot of detailed cultural information here; his chatty style of writing makes the book most suitable for public library browsing collections. Garden Book Club selection.
