The tips in this book are probably easy enough to follow, but I didn't get into the whole colored coded symbols and charts. The information seemed pretty limited to me, certainly not thorough. I would prefer something more detailed. But for the beginner wanting to grow only the most common plants, this could be a good resource and starting point.

One of the better gardening books I checked out from the library. Now if I can keep Nepal out of the strawberry patch before he completely destroys it ...

Looking forward to planting in some of the raised beds in our new back yard. Deciding what is the hardest thing!
