I really enjoy being able to have a veggie garden nearly year round and am so happy for what we can grow here. I was lucky when I bought my house that it came with mature fruits trees. Fresh fruit and vegetables are wonderful.<br /><br />-siamjade<br /><br />-siamjadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-58364880002460880292012-03-19T08:19:55.445-06:002012-03-19T08:19:55.445-06:00Great review!

I can't wait to check out the newest edition.<br /><br />As far as gardening in the west goes, the sheer variety of plants we can grow here is nothing short of amazing.

Have a copy that's so annotated and marked that it's hard to keep the pages in.

I'd say what I like the best is the challenge of finding the perfect plant for each space in the garden. I really have to dig in to all of the characteristics/descriptions of each plant. Also, I'm becoming familiar with lots of plants that I'd never come across before.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142425534589452296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-44223925094764440132012-03-12T17:18:41.260-06:002012-03-12T17:18:41.260-06:00I had an old sunset western garden book that I lov...I had an old sunset western garden book that I loved. When I moved to Atlanta I bought the Sunset National Garden book and got rid of the western :( <br />I didn't think a move back to Denver was in my future. Nice to know that the new Sunset Western garden book is worth the investment. I will check it out based on your nice review.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157331613074877353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-83719308148564953222012-03-12T15:27:24.004-06:002012-03-12T15:27:24.004-06:00I am addicted to all things Sunset.
