Northwest Gardener's Handbook

I think my rating for this book will go up over time. It's a really great, comprehensive resource. One of my favorite parts is how, in the “year at a glance” reviews of how to plan, prepare, and implement, the authors always encourage you to grab a warm cup of coffee before sitting down to daydream about spring in the middle of a northwest winter. I wish they were a little more focused on native plants, but I'm not super doctrinaire about that in my own garden, so who am I to talk?
