Meet the Author

Beloved Storey author and life-long gardener Louise Riotte passed away in 1998 at the age of 89. She wrote 12 books on gardening, companion planting, and garden lore, among them the ever-popular Carrots Love Tomatoes, which has sold approximately 515,000 copies. Her father taught her to believe in and practice astrology, while her mother was a practicing herbalist. Together they inevitably influenced her life and her books, Roses Love Garlic, Astrological Gardening, Sleeping with a Sunflower, Catfish Ponds & Lily Pads, and her most recent book, Raising Animals by the Moon. Her own line drawings are included in all her books. Before authoring books, Riotte was a ghost writer for Simon & Schuster and for Jerry Baker's radio gardening show, and she wrote a number of articles for Organic Gardening as well. Riotte took pride in her garden near her home in Ardmore, Oklahoma, which her son Eugene helped care for in her later years.

    Not Much Love

    This book and it's companion "Carrots Love Tomatos" was a big disappointment to me. I was hoping this book would have more in-depth information regarding companion planting but it's basically a book that lists in alphabetical order flowers, their characteristics, and sometimes what is a good companion in the garden (but not always). This book also talks about herbs in the same manner as flowers, has some garden plans, and other information regarding insect pests, uses for flowers, etc.

    If you want more useful information regarding companion planting I suggest "Great Garden Companions" by Sally Jean Cunningham. There's more detail and recommended layouts in a garden setting.

    More whimsy than factual

    This book is not one I would recommend for someone who is looking for "how-to" directions. Ms. Riotte provides some interesting ideas, but not enough to plan a flower garden.
