A Must-Own for Texas Gardeners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening (Hardcover)
Texas is a different planet, and Neil Sperry has charted it. No other gardening book in the world prepares someone for the extreme climates, the hideous excuse for soil, and the vast assortment of herbaceous critters that exist in this state. You have to have this book to succeed in landscaping endeavors. The pages on my copy are well-worn. It is an excellent, easy-to-use reference bible. A bargain at twice the price.

Buy this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening (Hardcover)
If you live in Texas and do anything with your lawn or garden, BUY this book immediately.Neil covers lawns, perennials, annuals, vegetables, trees, and shrubs in an exhaustive, comprehensive format. Full color pictures guide you through the basics of gardening these types, water and fertilizer, recommendations on your part of Texas, along with summaries of each plant. If the shrub/plant has pest problems, fungus issues or is high maintenance, Neil lays it out in a no B.S. manner that's both easy to read and handily referenced later. Every plant has a color picture associated, which helps a lot. The ONLY thing missing in his book would be house plants, but purchased "The House Plant Expert" for those. Amazon's price is a steal compared to my local bookstore - WELL WORTH the twenty-five bucks. It's a big, hardbound, monster-sized book that you'll constantly be referring back to again and again!

Best gardening book for the Texas Gardener bar none!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening (Hardcover)
This book is wonderfully informative. It has hundreds of color pictures to help you choose plants and covers the ones that are native or adapt very well to our climate. Don't be thinking you can check it out at the library. I live in Austin and they have dozens of copies but they are checked out at every branch. IT'S A MUST HAVE!
