Title: Month-by-month Gardening In Wisconsin by Melinda Myers ISBN: 1-888608-26-9 Publisher: Cool Springs Press Pub. Date: 01 September, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.99 |

Summary: Step-by-step garden guide with lots of great information
Comment: Book contains about 370 pages divided into 11 major sections. Sections are Annuals (29 pages), Bulbs (29 pages), Fruits (34 pages), Herbs and Vegetables (30 pages), Houseplants (30 pages), Lawns (26 pages), Perennials (30 pages), Roses (28 pages), Shrubs (32 pages), Trees (30 pages), and Vines & Groundcovers (30 pages).
What makes the book unique is that each section discusses the material for every month (hence the title, "month by month"). Each month contains about 2 pages of instructions for planning, planting, care, watering, fertilizer, pests, and pruning. Each section starts with several pages introducing the topic.
Example of Melinda Myers advice: Tree section (April), "Do not prune Oaks and Honeylocust once growth begins. Wait until the dormant season to avoid disease problems".
Oops, I wish I would have had this book earlier. I did prune my Oak in April a few years back, and I now have a disease problem.
Besides the great plant instructions, the books contains amazing maps of Wisconsin (page size maps with county names). Maps contain USDA Cold Hardiness, Annual Precipation, Average First Frost, and Average Last Frost. Also includes lists of crop dates, UW Extension Service addresses, dry tolerate perennials, and much much more.
This is an excellent wealth of plant tips for anyone gardening in Wisconsin. It's a must have book!
