Great Gardening Book
May I suggest a really great addition to your gardening books? Great Garden Companions..A Companion-Planting System for a Beautiful, Chemical-Free Vegetable Garden... is written by Sally Jean Cunningham....a master gardener who teaches us about companion planting...intensive planting...organic soil building...and natural pest-control techniques. Here's a sample of how she explains the plants 'Family Unit'...'Friends"...'Growing Basics'...'Spacing'...'Feeding'...'Mulching'...'Problems and Solutions'...'Harvesting'...and her 'Tips and Tricks'......
She explains "good bugs".... what to plant to attract them....and "bad bugs" with what to plant to repel them. There's a section on Seasonal Care and pictures of her own garden showing how this all works.
My copy is already "dog-eared" and smudged with dirty fingerprints....check it out for yourself!

hi Jody, I was able to request this book from my library to check out and see if I need to own it. (Probably do). It was warm enough today to do battle with my sweet autumn clematis. Happy gardening. Thanks.
Looks like another great book suggestion, I ordered a Different Kind of Luxury yesterday, now I have to get this one!
Great book, the pages in my book are worn! Another one is Carrots Love Tomatoes by Louise Riotte.
oh, I forgot to agree...my pages are also dirty...had it with me in the garden....:-)
Peggy and Tracey....I know you'll like this book! Roberta...you're right about Carrots Love Tomatoes...I don't own it but I've read it. I am definitely "book poor" but they mean more to me than money!
