"I LOVED this book... great writing style... wonderful information." (Niki Jabbour, gardening author & blogger)"You will learn why adding sugar to the soil won’t make vegetables sweeter, misting houseplants in the winter is mostly a waste of time, and amending the soil in a hole when you plant perennials or shrubs might not be such a good idea. This colorful and very enjoyable book is available everywhere. Buy a copy for yourself and one for a friend. You’ll both get a laugh out of it – and learn a thing or two about good gardening in the bargain." (Ann McCormickHERB 'N COWGIRL)"This book is just simply beautiful. C.L's photography leaps from the pages. It invites you in, as she shares and reveals the truths about many gardening myths. In fact over 70 myths are featured. Their history is told and then systematically, C.L. enlightens us. I must say that even I believed many of these old wives tales that I had heard over the years. For it's small portable size, this book is bursting with plenty of useful information and C.L's wittiness (love that!). It would make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves the outdoors. Plus it's the perfect conversation starter." (Melissa CaugheyTilly's Nest)"This is a fabulous book, full of great information and now-dead myths that many of us have held dear for decades." (Jim LongJim Long's Garden)"The new book’s subtitle, “and 70 Other Misleading Myths About Backyard Gardening,” says it all: it is an argument-settler. It is beautifully illustrated, mostly with C. L.’s own photography, and affably serves up information on how you should be gardening. Fornari succinctly lays many rumored garden quick-fixes and practices to rest in the 70 numbered, easy-to-digest sections. They reflect not only some of the latest, science-based findings but also some of the older, sturdy 19th century practices that have recently been proven correct." (Abigail HigginsMV Times)
