This book is a game changer for the horticulturist wannabe in me. In my last review of "Don't Throw in the Trowel", I talked about keeping a journal, but this book gives you actual tips for that journal. When I hear the word journal, I think of jotting down my thoughts and feelings of the day; however, there is so much more that should go into it. Through this, gardening becomes a year-round activity instead of just something to do in the summer months.
One of the best things I took away from this book is working in a plant-positive way. It makes so much sense and seems so obvious, but for some reason never crossed my mind. Using earthworms are powerhouses of soil, preventing disease by ensuring your plants are strong and healthy instead of using chemicals, just duh, but my brain never put that together.
For anyone looking for advice on making gardening a year-round endeavor, this is the book for you.

I received this book free. It has a lot of good advice on what to do each month for gardens for food or flowers. Good advice about birds (good and bad) how to control insects and how to build up soil. The only drawback that I can see is she lives in Missouri and if you live in northern Minnesota or Southern Florida you would need to adjust what month you do what in. It's full of good advice by someone who has years of experience gardening.

I've found all of Melinda's garden guides to be fun, funny and very user friendly.
Also great are the gorgeous photos and timelines and suggestion on combos that work well, zone wise, plant/ design wise.
Lots of love for plants and gardens, with serious info broken down in a way that keeps it real.
Better than anything I ever expected in a garden guide!

What a wonderful addition to any gardening library. A great resource that is organized by months so you know what to do each month in your garden. Guides for planting, composting, fertilizing, harvesting, etc. Wow this book is great. I received a copy during a promotion and voluntarily chose to review it.

I have most of this lady's gardening books. Why? Because I love to garden & prefer info from someone who knows what they're talking about.
