Maintaining your yard in top condition involves different tasks at different times of the year. Spring is the busiest season; summer is a time for ensuring the garden is well fed and watered; in fall the pace slows as plants die back, but winter protection needs to be put in place and future planting planned. Steven Bradley advises on work through the year, covering topics ranging from lawn care to pruning. Charts detail topics such as successional planting, pests and diseases, and basic care, with step-by-step instructions for 18 garden projects. The lively, accessible text is complemented by Anne Hyde’s splendid photographs.
