It was the book I was looking for. Contains a significant amount of helpful information. In particular, the information on which items complement eachother in the growing cycle. I would definately recommend it for the home gardener.

I received the book - Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guide to Cold Climate Gardening, very quickly and as described. Thank you

Zone 5 is not cold climate gardening! Book is a waste for those who truly live in cold climates.
