"Nan Fischer gives novice or new-to-the-area gardeners practical, seasonal information to make any gardening task something to look forward to. With good historical information on specific herbs and vegetables and gardening practices, it includes a list of sources for information or seeds at the end of each monthly chapter. This publication also has space for record keeping or note-taking, so it may indeed end up dog-eared and soil stained as the reader takes it into the garden with them."--Wesley Brittenham, former director of horticulture at Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm

The author breaks down gardening in our challenging climate into easy-to-understand steps that help the gardener build confidence and create more beautiful, productive, and healthy gardens.--Cindy Brown, Taos News
