Mulch, prune, and weed -- on audio?

Review by Sukey Howard

Spring has blossomed and the time has come again to think of planting and pruning, seeding and weeding. If you suffer from "fear of gardening," as I must admit I do, then I've got the perfect audio for you -- a light, bright, info-laden "self-help class for the horticulturally impaired." Tom Christopher, "a compulsive professional horticulturist" and Marty Asher, an urban escapee with "a penchant for concrete" have created The 20-Minute Gardener so that you'll be able to have, whatever the color of your thumb, "the garden of your dreams without giving up your life, your job or your sanity." Following their advice and spending only 20 minutes a day, you can have herbs, veggies, flowers, exotic grasses, a fabulous array of odoriferous night-bloomers that glow in moonlight but, most of all, you can have fun.
