Re: Southern gardening book

**"* <d*@comcast.net>**

Would two books do? Walter Reeves and Erica Glasener's  "Georgia Gardener's 
Guide" is easy to read for beginners. It combines Walter's decades of 
Extension how-to's plus Erica's vast plant knowledge.
Walter and Felder Rushing teamed up to do "The Georgia Fruit and Vegetable 
Book".  There's also  Walter's "Guide to Georgia Vegetable Gardening"
If only one book is in your budget, Walter and Erica's "Month by Month 
Gardening in Georgia" will help them keep on track.

I don't know whether your in-laws listen to Walter on Saturday morning, but 
if they're fans, you can order autographed copies from his website.

I haven't seen the new edition of the "Southern Living Gardening Book" but 
the old one was helpful. It's not specifically for Georgia, but it, along 
with the ones above, are some that I recommend to my readers and clients.

Subject: [GWL] Southern gardening book

Seasons Greetings All:

My in-laws live in Athens, Ga. and they've just bought a new house with lots 
of land an not much in the way of landscaping.  Neither are gardens but 
dabblers but they'd like to do more, especially vegetables but ornamentals 
as well.  Can anyone on the list recommend a great, general interest garden 
book that might be appropriate?  We'd like to give it to them for a 
Christmas present.

Thanks

Andrew
