Possum in the Pawpaw Tree

"For a folksy approach to garden matters, this calendar of activities fills the bill. Lerner and Netzhammer aim their guide at midwestern gardening conditions and offer a no-nonsense point of view when explaining such gardening basics as amending soil, dividing perennials, or starting a new lawn. Beginners and those gardeners with some prior experience should find a helpful ally here . . ." - Booklist

"Rosie Lerner and Beverly Netzhammer have just about covered it all. Extension agents and garden writers will find the calendar format very useful. The authors have answered many of those 'oddball' but not uncommon questions whose answers never seem to be found among my volumes of resource books." - Marianne Riofrio, State Master Gardener Coordinator, The Ohio State University
