This has the answer to most any question you could have for the greater Hampton Roads area gardener. Having grown up here I have always relied on Robert Stiffler's advice and I was very pleased to obtain a like new copy of this book for a great price.
Great book.

This is a great book and I relied on it heavily when I lived in Virginia Beach. It is written in a friendly and inviting way, almost as if you are talking over the fence to your neighbor. Its month by month "to do" lists were especially helpful in keeping me on track and reminding me that the garden works on its time, not mine.
This book has an invaluable month by month to do list.

We moved to Northeastern North Carolina four years ago from southern New York where we had successfully grown vegetables, roses and flowering shrubs and perennials for many years. Relocating to a new climate and different growing season was nearly an unsurmountable challenge until we purchased Stiffler's book. His month by month "to do" list plus gardening tips and procedures have helped us establish a most satisfactory year round garden. Stiffler categorizes shrubs and trees by level of maintenance required, soil conditions conducive to growth and also includes interesting historical and background information about individual varieties such as the history of the crape myrtle in the South. We have recommended this book to fellow gardeners as well and we all have found it an indispensable guide to gardening.
