There's another useful chapter on weeds, useful as far as description and depiction. However since this is a book with an organic focus their suggestions for weed control are limited to pulling, repeat pulling, or smothering with cardboard or a thick layer of newspaper. Such methods are limited in effectiveness for stubbornly persistent weeds such as nutsedge and wild garlic. The chapter on animal pests is a minimal few pages. It is the highly useful information on insect pests and plant diseases that make this paperback book one which should be in every gardener's library.
Annuals are an important addition to the summer garden.
Of late we're finding a greater diversity available, selections that go beyond marigolds and petunias and geraniums. There is a chapter on tender bulbs and another on climbers and trailers, a useful chapter on annuals grown for colored foliage. The color photographs are head shots, a catalog of plant portraits, but the book includes only a few of what they're like in combination. I found the text overly concise. For example, sanvitallia is in the section on tender perennials grown from cuttings.
