It may be the Golden State, but your garden can be any color you
want it to be. California is already famous as one of the world's
leading fruit and vegetable producers--but a glance at a valley oak
or California buckwheat is just a small glimpse of the native
plants the state has to offer the home gardener. Written by Alameda
resident and longtime gardening journalist Claire Splan,
"California Month-by-Month Gardening" is the sister manual to our
"California Getting Started Garden Guide." Inside, Splan dedicates
a thoroughly detailed chapter to each month of the year, telling
you "what" species you should consider planting, precisely "when"
you should plant them, and "how" to care for them for maximum
health. Within each month are recommendations for annuals, bulbs,
lawns (and lawn alternatives), natives, perennials, roses, shrubs,
trees, vines, and groundcovers. An introductory overview of
California's microclimates and soil types, along with a primer on
general gardening techniques and a color-coded USDA zone map,
prepares you to make your best effort as a gardener in California.
Splan's instructions go much further than just the basics, as you
learn how to plan, plant, care for, water, fertilize, and
troubleshoot your diverse garden spaces during every single month
of the year. Fully illustrated with beautiful color photography of
the "how to" steps and plants, "California Month-by-Month
Gardening" keeps your garden prosperous through all types of
California weather and terrain. For our full introduction to
gardening in California, we also recommend companion books
"California Getting Started Garden Guide" and "California Fruit
& Vegetable Gardening."
