Month-By-Month Gardening Illinois, Indiana and Ohio: What To Do Each Month to Have A Beautiful Garden All Year by Beth BottsA ReviewA friend recently told me, “The minute you used the words ‘yard work,’ I knew you were not a true gardener.” That is true. Still, most years I have had a vegetable garden, and when I remodeled my house some years ago, I began upgrading all of my landscaping as well. Along the way I have taken some community gardening classes, sought the help of the Master Gardeners at the Extension office, and collected a number of books to improve my skills. However, I never found a single comprehensive source to have at my finger tips to help manage scheduling, planning, planting, caring for and troubleshooting my indoor and outdoor gardens.Beth Botts’ book Month-by-Month Gardening, Illinois, Indiana & Ohio, What To Do Each Month To Have a Beautiful Garden All Year provides that single source. Beth is a University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener, environmentalist, and journalist with more than twenty years at the Chicago Tribune. She contributes to a number of publications on gardens and nature and is currently is a senior writer at the Morton Arboretum in suburban Chicago. No arm-chair gardener, she maintains gardens in and around her Chicago suburban home.The most salient feature of this book is its structure. The Introduction provides an overview of the Midwest’s hardiness zones, microclimates, and overall gardening techniques. The remainder of the book is divided into chapters, one per month beginning with January. The configuration is consistent throughout the book where common headings appear in bold type on colored ribbons: Plan, Plant, Care, Water, Fertilize, and Problem-Solve.
