5.0 out of 5 stars Step-by-step garden guide with lots of great information, July 18, 2002

By	Tom Krischan (Big Bend, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Book contains about 370 pages divided into 11 major sections. Sections are Annuals (29 pages), Bulbs (29 pages), Fruits (34 pages), Herbs and Vegetables (30 pages), Houseplants (30 pages), Lawns (26 pages), Perennials (30 pages), Roses (28 pages), Shrubs (32 pages), Trees (30 pages), and Vines & Groundcovers (30 pages).

What makes the book unique is that each section discusses the material for every month (hence the title, "month by month"). Each month contains about 2 pages of instructions for planning, planting, care, watering, fertilizer, pests, and pruning. Each section starts with several pages introducing the topic.

Example of Melinda Myers advice: Tree section (April), "Do not prune Oaks and Honeylocust once growth begins. Wait until the dormant season to avoid disease problems".

Oops, I wish I would have had this book earlier. I did prune my Oak in April a few years back, and I now have a disease problem.

Besides the great plant instructions, the books contains amazing maps of Wisconsin (page size maps with county names). Maps contain USDA Cold Hardiness, Annual Precipation, Average First Frost, and Average Last Frost. Also includes lists of crop dates, UW Extension Service addresses, dry tolerate perennials, and much much more.

This is an excellent wealth of plant tips for anyone gardening in Wisconsin. It's a must have book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Information, January 11, 2009

By	Adam Elmer (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is a lot of useful information in this book. I love the idea of getting tips for gardening in our state at specific times of the year. This book has answered many of my questions. The only thing I don't like is having to flip through pages since you are often referred to different chapters. Overall I highly recommend this book.

This is a must-have book for Wisconsin gardeners. The book is organized according by months, and it tells you exactly what to do each month for your garden.
