Synopsis

One complete season in the garden--sharing the author's experiences and discussing a variety of vegetables, flowers, and gardening techniques
"Glory be! A gardening book stuffed with regional advice and real first-hand experience. The mix of personal opinion and horticultural insight has created a most useful almanac. Read it and grow wise."--Roger B. Swain, Host, PBS Television's "Victory Garden"

"Lee Reich is exactly the sort of guide to gardening I wish I'd had when I started out--he's a fount of information and he's good company. A Northeast Gardener's Year brings together the authority of an experienced horticulturalist and the grace of a fine writer. A rare, and welcome, combination."--Michael Pollan, Author of Second Nature

About this title

About the Author:

Lee Reich is a professional horticulturalist and garden writer with a Ph.D. in horticulture. He contributes frequently to the New York Times gardening pages, Horticulture, and Organic Gardening, among other publications, and is the author of Uncommon Fruits Worthy of Attention. He lives in New Paltz, New York, but has gardened as far west as Wisconsin and as far south as Delaware.

From Library Journal:

With the authority of an experienced gardener and writer, Reich shares a gardening year in New Paltz, New York. His diary of garden observations and work with vegetables and flowers focuses on plant care that is common in the Northeast, Midwest, and other areas in that plant range. Reich has a fine sense of the level of gardening activity that successful growers need to maintain throughout the year. There is not a lot of detailed cultural information here; his chatty style of writing makes the book most suitable for public library browsing collections. Garden Book Club selection.
