Good gardening depends on timing - when to plant and when to prune, when to feed and when to water, when to build and when to maintain. This authoritative and accessible reference book is your infallible guide to a full 12 months of horticultural tasks. Easy to use, clearly laid out and completely practical in approach, it is designed to ensure you make the very best use of your time. As well as specific monthly tasks for every part of the garden there are checklists, expert plant advice and tips on organisation. Illustrated with more than 1,000 full-colour photographs of star plants for each month, step-by-step photographic sequences of garden projects and illustrated tasks, this reference tells you what to do when and also shows you how to do it. There is a DIY project suggestion for every month, each of which has been tried and tested.
