Garden Workbook: Growing

I recently became very interested in growing my own plants from seeds(ordered online) and also trying to propagate some others from cuttings. The only problem is that things are not so easy as they seem, and my first attempts were a failure.This way, this book has helped me a lot, because it is aimed at the beginner. Like, how could I know that I had to keep some seeds in the refrigerator for some months before they could germinate? :)The book also has step-by-step pictures about how to mix a good soil, how to make a decent cutting, using rooting hormone, etc...It is a pretty basic book, but its information is so valuable that I find myself constantly reaching for it. Of course there must be better books with more precise information, but this book certainly got me started and I'm sure it's all the reference a beginner needs to start growing his own seeds ot trying to propagate his own plants.It's clearly written, it's short and the most important aspect is that it has step-by-step pictures in every single chapter. Surely it is a lot easier now to make my cuttings successful, since all I had to do was trying to repeat all the basic steps described and PICTURED in the book.I believe this is the right book for someone who is willing to start growing or propagating his own plants and doesn't want to read an entire encyclopedia about plants.I know it doesn't seem to be very promising, since it's such a short and small book, but I'm sure it will get you started and with good results. It packs plenty of valuable info, it's clearly written and it has plenty of instructive color pictures. And it's very well priced too. I am glad I have my copy.
