Customer Reviews

No illustrations2
While this may be an excellent resource for around-the-year gardening, I was disappointed that there were absolutely no photographs of the recommended plants or examples of blooming beds that could be created. I purchased this book and intended it for a friend who is moving to Missouri and thought illustrations of the flora that thrive there would have been an asset, especially if she is unfamiliar with something Mr. Miller recommends. End the end, I returned the book and purchased his other book, Missouri Gardener's Guide that does have a photo reference. While the book description did not say there were illustrations, I assumed (incorrectly) that a book boasting blooms all year would have plenty of pictures to prove it!

Calendar of Events for the Garden and Yard4
This really is a month by month guide to different areas of your landscape from the lawn to ornamentals to edibles to roses. It is not comprehensive in any one area. For instance, it does not give intricate pruning instructions for fruit trees. Instead, it gives you a list of which projects to plan, and which to practice in each month of the year.
