The Mid-South Garden Guide

The Mid South Garden Guide is a complete easy-to-use handbook for all home gardeners in the South. It contains everything both the novice and the serious gardener need to know about the planting and caring for shrubs, trees, and flowers as well as the maintenance of a beautiful lawn. An introductory section features a month-by-month calendar with hint for planning, planting, fertilizing, spraying, pruning, and mulching, as well as information about correct gardening tools and their maintenance. Many illustrations and easy-to-read charts enhance sections on garden care, lawns, trees, shrubs, vines, bulbs, popular plants and flowers. Readers will find helpful information for growing herbs, vegetables, and container plants and for preparing fresh and dried flowers for arrangements. Although focused upon the Middle South, the horticulture information in this book will prove of great value and service to gardeners throughout the United States.

I remember my mother getting this book in the early 80's and as a child I enjoyed the sweet illustrations. As I got older and helped around the flower beds I found the book very useful. The book's writers covered everything from choosing areas for planting to pruning to fertilizing. The Memphis area has alot of opportunities with flowers and trees but this book is very helpful in regards to what can live in the mid-south. I am disappointed that it is not in print. I did recently see an updated version but have not seen another when I was able to purchase.

I have owned this book for a long time..........I have the edition whose cover is shown. It is the best gardening guide ever for the mid-south. It has a month by month section, as well as sections that give good explanations of how, where, and when to plant particular plants(and lists treatments for disease, etc.). It is for the novice gardner as well as someone who has gardened for years.

I LOVE this book! There is so much information inside as well as a wonderful reference book. I loaned it to a neighbor and she liked it so well I had to go get it!

Older edition that is still current.

Older version but still applicable.
