If you are interested in landscape gardening, then check this out. It lists the different plants that do well in different Ohio zones, but if you are interested in fruit, veggie and herb gardening, this isn't much help. What a disappointment.

The book introduces common plants which can be grown in Ohio. It has a lot of useful information. Very informative.

I dont buy a lot of books but this is a must! This is a great reference book. Reading McKeown is like talking to an expert at your local garden center... a wealth of knowledge.

I want this book. From everything to grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees, what grows well here and how to grow it.

Good overview of common and less-common annuals and perennials for the new gardener. Not sure why I bought a copy, except MORE GARDEN BOOKS, but I re-read it to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Author is enthusiastic about hybrids, if that's your interest, but this was published in 2001.
