There is a lot more to this book than what meets the eye.
This book covers what to grow, where to grow, and how to grow. There are color pictures in the middle to entice and encourage you. You get good tips on how to handle pests and pets (they are different). Different types of soil and drainage are covered. You get garden layout plans and containers for those of us that want to move the plants around a lot.
This book does too good of a job. I was counting a good number of the plants dying so I could try new ones. However, these animals just keep coming back even after freezing. I also have a simple system for Morning glories; toss the seeds over the fence.
