“No matter how good a gardener you or I may be, there are times when bad things happen to good plants, be it pest, disease, or problems with climate, soil or nutrients. We can’t always figure out the problem, but in What’s Wrong with My Plant? by David Deardorff and Kathryn Wadsworth (Timber Press, $33.95 softcover), we have the next best thing to a gathering of gardeners to pore over such mysteries. This is the smartest, best-thought-out book on diagnosing plant problems (and how to solve them) that I have seen in all my years as a gardener. You can use it as a handbook that you refer to when presented with a problem, but you’ll likely find yourself reading it from cover to cover just for the wealth of information you’ll learn.” Jodi Delong, The Nova Scotian.

“It makes plant problems almost fun — it’s temping to pick a different answer, and see what malady you get if you choose a different path. I don’t know that I’ll ever intentionally infect my plants to see if I can track them in the book, but you never know. Maybe plant detective work will prove too fun to resist!” Chani West-Foyle, Timber Press. Read the whole review.
