One of the latest trends in home horticulture is regional
gardening, but most popular garden books and syndicated columns are
written by authors on the East and West coasts. Possum in the
Pawpaw Tree is aimed at the heartland of the United States, where
"normal" weather means bitter winters, torrential spring rains, and
summer drought. Since such normal weather is assured, midwestern
gardeners must be prepared for the unexpected. Inspired by actual
gardeners' inquiries, each chapter deals with such down-to-earth
subjects as when to start seeds, why plants might fail to bloom,
pruning techniques, identifying and controlling common pests, home
fruit production, plant propagation, harvesting and storing, and
seasonal gift ideas. The material is arranged to provide a handy
month-by-month guide to indoor and outdoor gardening activities,
both for the novice and the more experienced gardener. Each chapter
contains a gardening calendar, short essays, and a section of
questions-and-answers that focus on gardening problems and
disasters peculiar to the Midwest. The seasonal arrangement serves
as a starting point for beginners and provides reminders for more
experienced gardeners. Monthly topics cover houseplants, garden
flowers, vegetables, woody landscape plants, lawns, and ideas for
new gardening adventures.
