Summary

To grow the perfect tomato in New Hampshire, gardeners can't follow the same rules as gardeners in Connecticut. With A New Hampshire Gardener's Companion, they'll take the guesswork out of tomato cultivation as well as lawn care, flower growing, shrub maintenance, dealing with limited growing seasons, and a host of other gardening- related issues. Packed with reliable, specific information from the Master Gardener program and from New Hampshire gardening authors and other local experts, this is the one resource that New Hampshire residents need to have successful green thumbs in their state.
