Sidebars throughout the book - ""Ask Grumpy"" - help readers tackle common garden problems (""How do I get ride of little house ants?""), and readers from the past 35 years take part in the book when Grumpy shares his favorite reader's responses to some of his advice, his favorite rules for gardening, and Q & A's covering your favorite plants and flowers are all inside. Additionally, beautiful line-drawings and illustrations throughout make the book as beautiful to look at as well as entertaining to read.
