    Useful and practical - about the SW region
  

*by O***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2015*

This review is about the book, "Vegetable Gardening in the Southwest" Paperback – January 7, 2015 by Trisha ShireyThe single thing that stands out most about this book is that it is easy to use.  It has many descriptions, diagrams, and charts that are all arranged for easy access.  It is easy to read and offers many good tips on gardening techniques.  There are many other books that offer more material on specific topics like composting or raised bed, but this book is intended to be an "all-in-one" guide to making your garden work.  It is also focused specifically on the SouthWest geographic region of the US.PART 1 - GETTING STARTED includes a chart of frost dates, discussions on soil types, composting and raised bed gardening.PART 2 - GET PLANTING is found in the middle, is the largest section of the book, and is arranged in month by month order, to make an excellent guide for activities.  January begins with planning and November wraps up most harvesting.  Each month incudes a primary task list and follows up with related topics.  Each page is labeled with the month on the top corner making it easy to navigate to the correct month.PART 3 - EDIBLES A TO Z starts with a master planting and harvesting chart, arranged zone by zone and then continues with a dictionary/encyclopedia like section on individual vegetable plants. This section wraps up with resources, a further reading list and an index.The best short summary of this book is that it is very useful and practical.

    This Oklahoma gardener highly approves
  

*by K***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2019*

I love the layout of this book. I am a reasonably seasoned gardener but we've been struggling the last couple years with high heat and drought in our area. Having a book that speaks directly to those issues is invaluable. There are sections with tips for what you should be doing each month in each zone....LOVE that she acknowledges how many zones there are in the southwest and how elevation can change your weather.  There is also a section that goes plant by plant (specifically the ones that grow in this region) and in each month there are breakout sections with tips and recommendations on plant varieties that hold up to southwest weather.The ONLY thing that I wish was different are the "tabs". On the front cover it looks like you can flip to each month. Not so. It is just printed on the cover. I had to create my own tabs so I could flip to the month I wanted quickly. Not a deal breaker because the content is so good, but it would make this book even easier to grab if it was actually tabbed the way the cover appears to be.
