This is the second edition of the book, and includes additional questions and their answers.Nellie is known as the GardenMama and her succinct, effective advice is legendary. Read on for information on finding the most suitable plants, simplifying garden chores, keeping plants healthy the natural way, and making your garden suit your needs and wishes. She hears her favorite compliment “Your advice really works!”In this order, the book’s chapters cover fall (the start of the southern gardener’s year), winter, spring, and summer.
