1001 Most Asked Texas Gardening Questions (ISBN 156530229X)

Are you a home gardener?:
Excellent book for anyone who keeps a lawn, has any landscaping and/or does some gardening. In other words, for anyone who has a home. Almost all of your questions are addressed in this book. It will save you many trips to your nursery and make the trips you do make much more productive. I'm buying more copies to use as gifts.

good general information--not much concern for organics:
This is the standard advice given by an author who is not that concerned with the environment. He uses and recommends too many chemical solutions to our gardening problems. However, I do own this book because it does give some expert advise on gardening in Texas, if you don't use his chemical approach. Good maintainance tips and schedules.

Keep your weekends manageable!:
Already familiar with his weekend radio show, I bought this book. Now, instead of wondering how to work with my lawn, I now turn to this book. It saves me many a trip to the local nursery. There are scores of answers for many of the questions for me, the average gardener. My azaleas are thriving, a mountain I never expected to climb. With regards to the last review about organic gardening, Sperry uses organic solutions when it is indicated, but makes no special effort to employ them. The non-organic solutions he recommends are safe according to the research he cites and that is good enough for me.
