From Booklist
Container gardening is becoming more and more popular with gardeners who have little space to garden. Window ledges, front and back steps, balconies, and rooftops can hold any number of containers. Fruit, vegetables, herbs, annuals and perennials, and even small shrubs and miniature trees can be grown in them. In addition to the usual containers, wheelbarrows, pots and pans, copper coal buckets, and old tires can be used. For each month, there are instructions and checklists for seasonal tasks, profiles of the plants in bloom, and practical projects, such as planning a balcony garden, making an alpine trough garden or a miniature water garden, and planting hanging baskets, window boxes, and wall pots. As any gardener knows, there is much more to be done in summer than in winter, but the month-by-month format will keep gardeners busy year-round. This practical guide, a selection of five book clubs, contains 60 color illustrations and 110 black-and-white illustrations. George Cohen
