    Entertaining and Educational

    University of Vermont Professor emeritus Norman Pellett has self-published a fun, affordable and educational read, asking 20 questions relating to plants in each of 10 chapters on various topics, then providing answers and brief discussion. It is a book you can read in small bits, anywhere throughout, and be amused and learn some facts you may have wondered (or not) about plants. You'll come away much more educated about gardening and plants, and as a result should have better success.

    Chapters include most the topics gardeners will encounter, beginning with botany, propagation, soils, and plant nutrition, and continuing through various plant groups such as vegetables, fruits, annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs. It concludes with a chapter on insects and diseases. Questions in many cases resemble those you may encounter in a class on the subject, yet with very understandable and readable answers for a lay person gardener. Just opening to nutrition, you'll see the question, "Which causes soils to become more acid?" Choices are rain, pine needles, and frequent fertilizer. (The answer is, as is often the case, it depends, with discussion of how each works.) You'll find questions from "What do earthworms eat?" "What is the difference between dirt and soil?" to questions on which plants are best for certain situations. Other questions are just fun, such as word jumbles and perennials with animal names. Each chapter has simple humorous artwork of the author.

    Fun by the Fireplace with Gardner's Quiz Book

    When I'm bored with the weary winter, I pull out Norman Pellet's Gardner's Quiz Book for inspiration and a laugh. It keeps me in touch with the growing season and inspires me to learn more about my immediate environment and give more thought to what I can sustain in my own back yard. The Gardner's Quiz Book is entertaining and wildly informative, and answers all the questions that have lingered in the back of my dormant brain. Bet you don't know what the best qualities are for a winter ground cover, but Norman does, and he tells you in his book. Check it out!

    Gardener's Quiz Book is Refreshing and Stimulating.

    In this age of increasing Localvores and home gardening to stretch a budget I think this is a helpful little book. It introduces and presents knowledge in an easy to learn style. The author's little jokes make it fun to read and study. It is going to improve the gardens of many folks, including my own.
