Summary: Tips For The Lazy Gardener
Review: I read this book because there is no connection between me and person with a green thumb or an avid gardener.

Atha includes a calendar to advise you when to prepare and then when to actually plant. I learned the hard way that not all seeds and plants have the information attached to them so you know when and where to plant as well as how to take care of. There are countless time and money saving tips that make it easier to grow herbs and vegetables, roses, annuals, bulbs and even shrubs. Also included are tips on what equipment to use the first time instead of changing until you find the right one. It proves to be so much easier to start with the right equipment which allows you to save time.

With over 150 color photographs Atha makes it impossible for someone not to be able to think and act like a gardener even if they don't claim to be a gardener. You can see or read while you actually plant as the book is compact to carry around.

This book is a definite read for every gardener and especially the want to be gardeners out there.

Summary: not worth the money
Review: I've read lots of better gardening books and would not give this one any stars. This book makes a few worthwhile recommendations, but spends an inordinate amount of space and photos on non-lazy plants (e.g., roses), saying they are worth the extra work. Lazy gardeners are not looking for extra work! The text also highlights plants that are not pictured, and shows photos of plants not mentioned. There are also lots of annoying typos and bad sentence construction which is extremely annoying.
