Summary: --Morning Glories-Dumpling Squash and Moon Flowers--
Comment: The cover of this book really grabs you with the lushness of a summer day. A rustic wooden gate is framed by a wrought iron arbor, which sits on top of brick columns. Lush pink climbing roses and lavender colored clematis are cascading over the entire structure. A beautiful garden book is the perfect way to spend a cold winter's day and Vines & Climbers didn't disappoint me.

The book is divided into Five Chapters: (1) Looking Up -- In this part we're given the use and value of climbing plants. (2) The Supporting Player--This refers to the bones of the garden and any fences, walls, tall trees and other structures that are on site. (3) Growing Up -- This chapter discusses the essential elements that are needed by every garden: soil, mulch, compost, fertilizers, light, shade and moisture. Some information is also given on pests and diseases. (4) A to Z of Plants --This is the largest part of the book. It gives descriptions of over 120 different plants that include vegetables, fruits and colorful ornamentals. (5) Vines & Climbers In the Garden--This Chapter outlines different designs and gives planting suggestions for the home garden.

I enjoyed reading Vines & Climbers and liked the idea of using fruit and vegetable vines along with ornamental ones. The photographs are very attractive! My favorite picture is of a weather beaten doghouse that's completely covered with a gorgeous blooming nasturtium vine. The dog's face is even peeking out from his front door.
