When I began my search for information on what to do with my yard and garden, I looked to the internet, and soon found that a lot of information was geared toward climates where there is actually a winter with SNOW and summers that don’t suck the life out of you. Since I was gardening and landscaping in Central Florida, I was hoping I’d find a reference for a hot humid climate. I was lucky enough to find this book at my local public library and it has proved a valueable resource. One of the things I like best about this book are the plant lists (such as the 20 best perennials) and the month by month section on what to do in the garden. And I know I can trust it because it is tailored to my climate! I give it 4 out of 5 stars because there were some times I wanted more information about a certain plant and had to go elsewhere to look it up. I suppose it would have been quite a hefty book if it included all the info I wanted.
All in All, I think this is a great book, and I think I may break down and buy it for a penny at the Amazon Marketplace.

After a grave search for information on gardening here in Naples, Florida, I found this book to be the best one I could really trust. The climates are mapped out so perfectly for our region which is unique to anywhere in the United States. We have a wider choice of Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall growing periods which are shown here. You need this book if you live South of Tampa on the West or below Daytona on the East coast of Florida.
