Welcome to Litsy!

This book gets full marks for being absolutely lovely, with tons of beautiful photographs. However, while the theme was good, the material was very repetitive. They gave the steps for planning a garden (found in virtually any gardening book: hardscape, focal points, anchor plants, filler plants, groundcover), then said, “you can replace any of your regular plants with edible plants!!“ and then covered the same steps for your front yard, back yard⬇

Dreaming of spring tonight as the snow flies.

This book has some lovely photos. I'm all about planting native plants to support pollinators, along with a lot of edibles. These authors love nonnative ornamentals, along with a lot of edibles. They are also very focused on gardening in more southerly areas. In Connecticut, I can't grow half the stuff they mention. So, lovely book, but not quite a fit for me. #gardening
