I am completely new to gardening at the ripe old age of 42. Yes, I have waited 42 years to start figuring out just how plants grow and what the heck do they need. More importantly, how do I even being to start to garden? How do seeds grow, how do I plant trees, what plants grow where, how much water do they need, why didn't my seed germinate and so on. Like any newbie I have a million questions and that is exactly what this book is all about. It's like the google of gardening but in a book with illustrations. I love it. I love it so much I am about to post about it on gliving.com where I am documenting my first gardening attempt.
You can't go wrong with this book. This is an up to date modern book with a fresh feel to it. It's not one of those re-hashed gardening books filled with old photos from gardening magazines or old gardening books. This is feel like it was create especially for the modern urban gardener, which I am guessing is probably someone like you.
