The Vermont Gardener's Companion tells how to get the most out of
Vermont's short gardening season and details how readers can use organic
methods to improve soil, deal with diseases and pests, and get better
results with their plants in a state where "winter temperatures plunge
far below zero and rocks left by the glaciers pop out of the ground each
spring like bread from hyperactive toasters." With good humor and a
natural teacher's gift for explanations, Henry Homeyer makes gardening
fun and readily accessible to all.
