Ralph Snodsmith's Fundamentals of Gardening

Second Edition, Revised
by Ralph Snodsmith
Here is expert advice from “Good Morning America”'s gardening editor. Ralph Snodsmith, who is also a longtime instructor at The New York Botanical Garden, draws on frequently asked questions from more than a decade of his popular radio call-in program, providing information on everything from basic plant physiology to protecting your gooseberries from the birds.

This most accessible of all gardening books is written in such a neighborly manner that you can almost see Mr. Snodsmith standing right in front of you in his Kelly green jacket. Perfect for the home gardener, his book begins with basic botany and horticulture, but under his tutelage you rapidly acquire expertise in planting B&B'd shrubs and trees, pruning hydrangeas, starting seeds, and fighting off powdery mildew.
