This delightful little pocket guide is set out, week by week, for the entire calendar year, as little informal "chats" from the author regarding when to plant certain types of plants and vegetables. It contains many helpful hints and tips and these are accompanied by diagrams to illustrate the points he is making. There is a useful appendix of some of the technical terms the author uses. A great book for anyone who needs a little guidance in the garden, without being too detailed.
