<p>I have been trying to find a good, comprehensive source for seasonal gardening “chores”. Things like when to prune different plants/shrubs, when to feed, when to divide, etc. I have several books and have searched online sites, but have yet to find a comprehensive one.</p>
<p>Does anyone know of a book that is good on this subject–ideally one that is divided to the specific growing zones or regions of the country?</p>
<p>I have checked a book out of our library that is a month by month guide for our specific region and a quick check of the online bookstores shows that it is one of a series for various regions of the US. The titles all seem to start with “Month by Month Gardening in…”. But, each title is for a specific region. They don’t attempt to address gardening throughout the US.</p>
<p>Part of the publisher’s synopsis states:

<p>Thanks Greta, I will look online now!</p>
<p>That was weird, how did my answer post above yours? :)</p>
<p>Sorry, I think maybe I was editing the quote I inserted when you responded…I messed up the bracket thing on the first attempt. One of those weird CC moments in time.</p>
<p>I just found it on Amazon and ordered. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>If you like perennials I recommend “The Well-Tended Perennial Garden” by Tracy DiSabato-Aust. It gives plant-by-plant information on when to prune and other maintenance, as well as well as a month-by-month guide to what you should be doing in your garden.</p>
<p>Good. Another book to look for, I will have quite the library and thus no excuses!</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
