Summary: Be sure to note that this book applies to deserts at <3,500
Comment: The review/summary of this book online didn't specify that this book applies to desert gardening at 3,500 ft. and below. Although this book claimed to apply to New Mexico, there are not many areas of the state that are below 3,500 ft. This book is better suited to residents of Arizona and California. We sent this book as a gift to my mother-in-law in Tucson and she loves it.

Summary: Simply the Best
Comment: This book fooled me at first glance. I browsed the bookstore and purchased several other books on gardening for hot, arid climates and passed on this book. The lack of color and the obviously amateur photographs in this book led me to believe that the text would be amateur too. This assumption was complete in error! After reading the other books I still didn't feel satisfied that I had received the knowledge I was seeking so I took a chance on this book. This book is very detailed and is really the only book I should have purchased. The author is conversational in his writing style which makes it easy to understand and to the point.
If you have tried gardening in Phoenix or other hot places you know that, with our very short growing seasons, the timing and preperation is critical. This book addresses both these issues and more. It tells you exactly how to prepare our basically "crappy" soil and goes week by week on the gardening activities such as planting, fertilizing, pruning, etc... Buy this book and you will soon realize that it is all you need to get started. The only other thing you need is your own practical experience.

Summary: Very detailed book
Comment: Why does everyone who uses this book live near me?
I bought this book for my father, a very experienced gardener and landscaper who recently moved to the desert. Although he is not a big book reader I see him using this book repeatedly.
The book is easy to follow, gives a number of great tips, and presents ideas that even a seasoned professional like my father hasn't thought of.
