Perfect for you if...

You love growing things but find most gardening books too technical or impersonal for how you actually live.
You care about seasonal eating and want to know exactly when to plant, prune, and harvest in your specific climate.
You entertain at home and want your garden to supply both dinner and the flowers for your table.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a comprehensive reference guide with pest management and soil chemistry broken down in detail.
You garden in climates far from the Deep South and need region-specific timing and advice.
You prefer a no-frills approach to gardening without the lifestyle and entertaining elements woven throughout.

About this book

From the author who's "one part Wendell Barry, one part Martha Stewart . . . one of the most refreshing takes on 'locavore' you'll see this year" (St. Louis Magazine). A vital young voice in the gardening scene teaches a new generation of Southerners to love gardening and to make it a focal point of their lifestyle. James Farmer III teaches respect for the age-old rules of flower and vegetable gardening in the Deep South (e.g., May is the time for pruning), in a fresh voice that resonates love of life and entertaining at home. Also included are delicious recipes for seasonal meals, as well as suggestions for floral arrangements and centerpieces from the garden. Praise for James T. Farmer and his books "A Southern gentleman who's just as charming in the garden as he is in the kitchen. He's compiled all his botanical experiences into A Time to Plant."—Harper's Bazaar "A Time to Cook, A Time to Plant and A Time to Celebrate are titles of three of his books that inspire readers to cultivate, decorate and salivate over their own efforts in the kitchen. His books contain descriptive text combined with colorful photographs and garden-to-table recipes."—The Virginian-Pilot Read more
