- I am an experienced gardener. When I received this book, I wondered if I would really learn anything from it. I was pleasantly surprised. One thing that was unclear when I read the description was the week by week and how it applied to each zone. The first thing you do is mark your last and first frost date. The book is broken into weeks based on those dates so you can use it according to your area.
- I haven't put this book down since I got it, really, I take it to work with me and read on breaks, too!
Been highlighting and making notes of what will be very important to me in my garden. It's useful now as I am late on starting some seedlings indoors, so will be doing that this weekend! Really puts what needs to be done and when in perspective, very helpful and lots of great tips to make gardening easier and fun!
I have been saving articles from magazines on gardening for years and now cut out some things from them and pasted them into this wonderful book on pages that apply for the subject discussed. Fun to add your own notes and tips and have a keepsake type of garden journal and notebook that will be used, written in and can be passed down to your kids later in life.
Worth every penny, thanks to the authors for taking the time to make this book, a lot of thought was put into it and I just love it! Also, have to add that it's great the authors geared the book towards organic type of gardening too. - This book won't work for everyone. It claims it will, but unless you can figure out how to tamper with the timeline on your own, sorry, nope. (As a beginner, I'm not sure how to do this).
My last frost is approx. April 3. So, for me, I'm being told to pinch up late tomato blossoms in late June (when things are barely getting going!) and ripping up my plants before we even get to the tomato boom in August!
When the book has early winter coming during the peak of gardening season, something is off. (And yes, I double and triple checked my dates).
I can't recommend this book if your growing season looks anything like mine (first frost Nov 11, Last frost Apr 3, approx).
If you live somewhere with a very short growing season, it would be a great book and I'm jealous. This book is (mostly) weekly, so I realize it can be easy to think it will work for anywhere - esp. since you write in your own dates, but it simply WON'T.
I'm bummed. It looked really helpful. If anyone can prove me wrong I'll gladly up my stars and use the book! - I wasn't expecting the book to start in January. I had some catching up to do when I got in March. It has so much useful information though. Great book for the beginner gardener wanting to get to expert level gardener. I told my boyfriend that its exactly the type of book you'd want on hand in print form for a zombie apocalypse. You'd be a pro after a couple read throughs and there's plenty of content to keep you entertained. My only complaint is that I wish it went over the process of actually starting a garden your first year a bit more, since this is my first year trying to start a garden at my new house. It's geared a bit more towards a garden routine year-after-year which should be super helpful in future years!
- I bought this book thinking it would help me better plan out my garden throughout the year. While it did have everything sectioned in the weeks some of the information didn't really apply to my zone. Some of the time stamps for when they say to do things went past what Farmers Almanac and other information for my zone and state are saying. If I had to go back and do it again I probably wouldn't buy this book. I find it more reliable to check the internet and just make a list of what I'm growing and when my zone and state says to grow it.
- As an amateur gardener I have been looking for something that would motivate me to get organized in my endeavors to plant my own garden. After a year of using this I found it to be very helpful and maybe a bit beyond my personal skill level and lazy gardening techniques. If you are super organized and would like to become more so look to this book as the answer.
- I went through and pencilled in the first and last frost dates and tried to match up the dates with the timeline in the book, but I had "usable" growing season weeks left at the end, which I don't quite understand, espeically since I'm pretty sure I live in the same county as the authors. Regardless, it's a very good planner for what to do when, has lots of great advice for a new gardener like myself, and inspired quite a bit of impatience, as I started reading and using it before my garden was actually ready! Recommended for New Englanders (Zones 4 - 6), but I don't know how easy it would be to match up growing seasons for other (especially warmer) zones.
- A pretty fair amount of useful info, though I think the organization could improve. There were a couple of times I found myself searching the first parts, because it said set out transplants of something that I didn't see anything about starting earlier. I was searching the chapter starts, which are 'TO DO' lists, and it was only mentioned in the text. Also, the whole thing is intended for you to determine your last frost date from local sources, and then put appropriate dates in the header. While this is quite good, it would have been helpful to have a table of regions or states with either the approximate dates, or a range of dates which historically have been the last frost. I say that becuase, at least here, the publishing of said date by the university system comes after some of the things should have been done.
It is very well built, sturdy cover and binding, because it doubles as a notebook for recording things you will want to do differently next year based on whatever happened. To that end, I could say it could use some more pages for such info, and I would like to see some more info on some things, but those are minor points really.
Overall, a great book for someone with moderate to little experience with growing crops.
