"Month-By-Month Gardening in Michigan" is split into chapters on types of plants, e.g. Annuals, Bulbs, Herbs, Houseplants, Lawns, etc. Each chapter is then split into the following subchapters: "Introduction", "Planting Chart", "January", "February", ... "December". Here is how to use this book:Suppose you live in Michigan and want to know whether to prune your climbing roses in March. Turn to Chapter 7, "Roses" and the subchapter called, "March". This subchapter has sections on "Planning", "Planting and Transplanting", "Rx Care for Your Roses", etc. In the section entitled "Pruning" (March), the author recommends, "Prune climbing rose plants to fit their supports. Remove thin canes, and pinch back overly vigorous canes to force branching."This book is very easy to use, as you can see from the above paragraph. I used to be a Zone 6 gardener down near Lake St. Claire, and now I live in the colder end of Zone 5, so I know from experience that you might have to adjust Fizzell's time-table of recommendations by as much as three or four weeks, depending on your specific zone.Organic gardeners probably won't want to use some of the author's "Rx Care" suggestions (Fizzell recommends actual products such as "Orthene" and "D-Con"), but other than that, "Month-by-Month Gardening in Michigan" should prove useful to all of us who garden in this state, whether it be the `helpful hints', the planting charts, or the month-specific instructions for tending to your water garden.My sister kept e-mailing me to find out when she was supposed to perform various gardening chores, so I finally bought her her own copy.Incidentally, the author lives and teaches in Illinois!
Month - By - Month gardening in Michigan is a book that needs little more description.Covers annuals, bi-annual perennial planting. In addition, provides planting tips, special procedures and more.If you're an enthusiast in Michigan this book should be in your collection.
