Timing is everything and just because the info gives you dates, in no way does this mean it will happen in your garden. Trial and error is the name of the game and it requires time, effort and patience.

This book has been on my wish list for some time, but after reading your review, it has moved up to the top! (Of course, I hope you never include me in the drawings since I host the meme.) I, too, think that garden writers should have the garden to back them up. There's nothing quite like the experience of getting your own hands dirty - and from killing a few plants! ;) Have a Merry Christmas!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-42932019711599741242012-12-24T07:06:23.676-08:002012-12-24T07:06:23.676-08:00So pretty!
