The Well-Tended Perennial Garden: Planting
and Pruning Techniques
With more than 130,000 copies sold since its original
publication, The
Well-Tended Perennial Garden has proven itself to be one of the most
useful tools a gardener can have. Now, in this expanded edition,
there's even more to learn from and enjoy. This is the first, and still
the most thorough, book to detail essential practices of perennial care
such as deadheading, pinching, cutting back, thinning, disbudding, and
deadleafing, all of which are thoroughly explained and illustrated.
More than 200 new color photographs have been added to this revised
edition, showing perennials in various border situations and providing
images for each of the entries in the A-to-Z encyclopedia of important
perennial species. In addition, there is a new 32-page journal section,
in which you can enter details, notes, and observations about the
requirements and performance of perennials in your own garden.
Thousands of readers have commented that The Well-Tended Perennial
Garden is one of the most useful and frequently consulted books in
their gardening libraries. This new, expanded edition promises to be an
even more effective ally in your quest to create a beautiful, healthy,
well-maintained perennial garden.

McGee & Stuckey's Bountiful
Container: Create Container Gardens of Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, and
Edible Flowers
With few exceptions-such as corn and
pumpkins-everything edible that's
grown in a traditional garden can be raised in a container. And with
only one exception-watering-container gardening is a whole lot easier.
Beginning with the down-to-earth basics of soil, sun and water,
fertilizer, seeds and propagation, The Bountiful Container is
an extraordinarily complete, plant-by-plant guide...
Written by two seasoned container gardeners and writers, The
Bountiful Container
covers Vegetables-not just tomatoes (17 varieties) and peppers (19
varieties), butharicots verts, fava beans, Thumbelina carrots, Chioggia
beets, and sugarsnap peas. Herbs, from basil to thyme, and including
bay leaves, fennel, and saffron crocus. Edible Flowers, such as
begonias, calendula, pansies, violets, and roses. And perhaps most
surprising, Fruits, including apples, peaches, Meyer lemons,
blueberries, currants, and figs-yes, even in the colder parts of the
country. (Another benefit of container gardening: You can bring the
less hardy perennials in over the winter.) There are theme gardens (an
Italian cook's garden, a Four Seasons garden), lists of sources, and
dozens of sidebars on everything from how to be a human honeybee to
seeds that are All America Selections.

Spring
Hill Nursery One Cent Sale
Step 2 Garden Hopper Mobile Garden Stool
and Storage
As any gardener knows, even the best-laid plans for
spending a day with
the soil can be ruined by the necessity for repeated trips to the house
or shed for the proper equipment. With the Step 2 Garden Hopper,
however, it's possible to pack everything you need for a full day's
gardening and take it all wherever you go. The Garden Hopper features
an extremely sturdy seat that's just high enough to offer a comfortable
perch yet low enough to keep you close to your garden. While a molded
carrying handle is included within the seat itself, the Hopper's 7-inch
wheels make it simple to scoot about without rising. With its sturdy
double-wall construction, the Garden Hopper is strong enough to take a
lot of rugged treatment. Beneath the seat is a large storage space,
perfect for holding your gloves, tools, seeds, cellular phone, and
other accessories you may need. In addition, this handy garden helper
includes a built-in holder for a 12-ounce beverage, eliminating the
need to run back into the house for refreshment. The Garden Hopper
measures about 14 inches tall, 12.5 inches wide, and about 22 inches
long. Click
