Summary: "Gardening in the Granite State"

Living in NH and gardening is a tough one. My yard was all ledge so I had to build raised garden beds in order to even have a garden. This book is awesome because it covers anything and everything to do with gardening in NH - where it is a much shorter growing season and there are different pests, lots of ledge and cool nights. Perfect for anyone wanting to make the most out of NH's short growing season, very helpful information. I keep refering back to it as I grow my garden areas.

Summary: "Great New Hampshire-specific gardening book!"

So many wonderful hints about gardening in New Hampshire, from soil to vegetables to flowers (both annuals and perennials) to shrubs and trees. I've purchased another copy for my daughter-in-law, also an avid gardener in NH.

Summary: "Valuable tool for the NH gardener!"

This is an excellent resource tool for all NH gardeners. I wish I had this book BEFORE I started planting! I would have benefited from the tips the author provides! Very useful information!!

Summary: "THE book for New Hampshire gardeners"

Homeyer is targeting a small audience with this practical tome, but this may well be the best, if not the only, book of its kind. He gives plenty of practical advice for New Hampshire gardenders that I wish I had had years ago, such as how to grow peppers and eggplants and the futility of trying to grow celery.

My one wish is that Homeyer had included more information about herbs. I was specifically hoping for some advice on lavender and what varieties are best for NH. Overall, though, this is a very useful book.

Summary: "Great Book"

This is the garden book you want if you live in N.H. It is the book you want if you live anywhere with a winter. I do not know the author but would love to hear him give a seminar.
