You say you have a yard that could be improved by a liberal application of Agent Orange? You say you’ve got tumbleweed where there should be lawn, vines that could hide a third world nation, trees that block out the sun? You say your house is beautiful, but the yard makes it look as though it should be condemned? You say you are mowing, trimming, weeding and pruning when you’d rather be swimming, golfing, fishing or eating? Is that what’s bothering you, Bucky?

Well, cheer up! Cheap and Easy Gardening is the answer for you. Authors Bernice Boughner and Mary Young have spent decades creating gardens that require less and less work each year, not more and more. They will help you plan a yard that suits your needs, looks good and doesn’t take a fortune or every spare minute of your time to maintain.
