Written by

Reeves and fellow Georgia gardening expert Erica Glasener, the book is

packed with information arranged in a practical, easy-to-use format, according

to its publishers. Each of the book's 10 plant categories includes 12

monthly guides with specific information on how to care for those plants

that month.

Gardeners who

want to research rose routines in July or horde house plant how-to's in

December need only turn to that month in that plant group's chapter. The

monthly entry contains focused information on that plant group alone,

so gardeners can find the answers they need fast.

"We wrote

this book because gardeners often ask us, 'What should we be doing or

expecting in our garden right now?'" comments Reeves. Glasener adds,

"'Month-By-Month Gardening in Georgia' offers not only lists of tasks

to accomplish each month, but also pests and diseases to watch out for

and methods to control them, with suggestions for monthly plant combinations."

Author Walter

Reeves hosts 750 WSB-AM's highly rated garden call-in show every Saturday

morning from 6 to 10 a.m. and writes weekly garden tips in the Atlanta

Journal-Constitution.

"Month-by-Month

Gardening in Georgia" is Reeves' and Glasener's third gardening book

with publisher Cool Springs Press. Their first work, the "Georgia

Gardener's Guide," contains information on 175 premium plants for

the Peach State. Their next effort, "My Georgia Garden: A Gardener's

Journal," is sprinkled with gardening hints, designed for gardeners

to record their own gardening adventures.
