This book is pretty neat. It has documentation for five years so you can chart the progress of your plants and keep record of what you've planted, etc. It includes a Zone Chart so you can see what zone you are in (turns out I was wrong about mine! gasp). Next are nine spreads in which to record bloom and harvest date of each of your plants for each of the five years. Following that, is the main body of the book: winter, summer, fall, and spring checklists, notes portions, and plotting graphs. Everything from telling you when to prune, plant, mulch, plan, stake, order seeds, and more. At the end of the book are a few articles on topics such as When and How to Compost, Container Gardening, Pruning Basics, and a few more. Each includes websites, books, and articles where more information can be found. Then there is a place to write down your suppliers and sources, and finally, a small pocket to keep a few things in.
This book is paperback, with a slightly reinforced cover. It is 8''x 6'' with 240 pages. It is spiral bound with a string closure. While not quite what I expected, it is a very handy book that I'm very happy to have gotten.
I received a copy of this book from BLOGGING FOR BOOKS and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
