I heard Felder Rushing speak, and went out and immediately bought all his books (on Alibris) I didn't already have. This is one! I have to use this book in conjunction with A Garden Book for Houston and other gardener's advice because many of the plants he discusses do not do well here on the Texas Gulf Coast. I love the personal and humorous touches this author uses.
A great book for a Florida newbie gardener who is still struggling with recognizing the plants at the garden center. A good basic reference for establishing a good Southern garden. Cultural information is somewhat sketchy, as are other characteristics like toxicity, etc. Still, a great book, and my first "go-to" book for questions about what and where to plant. Felder is a hoot!
I love this book. Every plant that he's recommended that I've tried has been trouble free. I really like the format of the book and the bits of humor he includes.
