Book excerpt: Gardening is fun again with this witty and informative Lowcountry guide and almanac, inspired by the Poor Richard series by Ben Franklin. From a detailed calendar, to planting / moon tables, to planting and caring for annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, lawns and more, this comprehensive look at Lowcountry gardening is full of useful information. It's more than just Lowcountry gardening 101, however. Po Lily's vocabulary list offers hilarious 'new' terms, and Ben Franklin and Po Lilyisms remind you that the wit and wisdom of yesteryear still hold true today. Of course no almanac is complete without information and folklore about the moon and weather. Po Lily has information about soil testing, fertilizing, pests and companion planting, too, as well as recommendations for good boat rides or daytrips. Every fresh produce market in South Carolina is listed, also. Po Lily's Lowcountry Almanac and Gardening Guide is just what gardening ought to be - fresh and fun and down to earth.
