Gardening with Ed Hume covers the basics of Pacific Northwest gardening in a non-technical, can-do way. Hume’s friendly voice encourages and inspires in chapters covering lawns, perennials, fertilizers, shrubs, groundcovers, and much more. Each plant chapter has sound advice on placement and growing, including early-spring bulbs, dramatic ornamental grasses, hedges to hide the neighbors, and even plants for fall color.
