It's about 400 pages of great info on pome fruits, stone fruits, and berries, with sections on orchard planning, pruning, organic pest and disease control, and a yearly plan for feeding and maintenance. I'm just starting into it, but it appears to be a great resource. We're hoping to put in a small orchard soon, so I'm counting on his advice to get us going in the right direction.Phillip Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018038822772633406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-82685539094535951312012-01-29T08:40:50.144-05:002012-01-29T08:40:50.144-05:00Hey Phillip, and thanks!

I'm trying to find time now to read both. At first glance, both look great. I'm also expecting The Complete Compost Gardening Guide (recommended by another blogger) and The New Southern Garden Cookbook next week. Might also have to look for a copy of The Resilient Gardener. It seems like every reviewer I respect is highly recommending it. Thanks for the reviews and recommendations.Phillip Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018038822772633406noreply@blogger.com
