You'll use this book constantly. Not just for Georgians!, 24 April 2001
By D. J. Miller "jomiller" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Month-By-Month Gardening in the South: What to Do and When to Do It (Paperback)
I own an embarrassingly large number of gardening books, some of them quite wonderful. But this one has quickly become my favorite, for many reasons. In it, the experience and wisdom of Don Hastings have been paired with the insights of his son, Chris, who realized that the month-by-month format would be a godsend for many gardeners, especially younger ones who are overwhelmed by books that take an encyclopedic approach. The photographs are superb (finally, I am able to recognize some of the common pests in my garden!). The advice, which is understandable and pleasant to read without being simplistic, is as useful for Northern Virginians like me as it is for those in the deep south. But I think my favorite thing about Don and Chris Hastings' book is the same thing I appreciate about my favorite cookbooks: rather than merely telling you what to do, they tell you WHY you are doing it, and explain the reasons behind each piece of advice. By sharing their understanding in this way, they help the reader to become a knowledgeable gardener rather than simply a memorizer and follower of instructions. (Plus, the book turns gardening into a year-round pleasure, rather than something you look forward to beginning in March!)

This book is on the Christmas list for all our neighbors!, 9 Nov 1997
By 2morgans@flash.net - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Don Hastings' Month-By-Month Gardening in the South: What to Do and When to Do It (Paperback)
This book has twelve chapters, January through December, and each chapter is subdivided into eight sections: Shade and Flowering Trees, Shrubs and Vines, Fruits, Roses, Flowers and Colorful Garden Plants, Vegetables, Houseplants, and Lawns. Additionally, a glossary and index in the back of the book allow you to quickly reference to specific plants and gardening procedures in the South. Highly rated by the Atlanta Journal-Consititution - a complete manual for the care and propagation of your immediate Southern outdoor environment!
