Gardeners put up with it, complain about it, and even delight in it, but, asks author Sally Roth in The Gardener's Weather Bible, do we truly work with weather to make the most of whatever the day brings? No matter if the skies are glorious or gloomy, Roth educates gardeners to become more attuned to weather's dramatic impact on how our gardens grow.
A spiffy distant relative of the Old Farmer's Almanac, The Gardener's Weather Bible is part weather primer, with information on air masses, storm forecasting, as well as the ever-elusive question of why the sky is blue, and part general garden guide. Roth touches on topics directly related to climate, such as conserving water or mitigating the effects of wind, while stretching freely into subjects like worms and erosion control, plants with night-time fragrance, and zodiac constellations.
Whether presenting folklore or technical information, Roth's style is upbeat and friendly, if not somewhat chatty. Of particular value are a series of "to do" lists for various conditions-clear, cloudy, windy, stormy, or sunny winter days. To ease understanding, nearly every page contains a chart, diagram, map, illustration, bullet points, or other highlighted information. --Jennifer Wyatt
Review
"This no-nonsense guide belongs on every rose gardener's bookshelf, as Barbara Wilde presents all the information gardeners need to grow roses organically. Growing Beautiful Roses is straightforward, easy to access, and organized for maximum utility. Especially interesting are the chapters on the history of the various groups of old roses and on combining roses with other plants in the garden."--Anne Halpin, professional gardener, editor, and author of many gardening books, including Morning Glories and Moonflowers
