Sunbelt Gardening Success in Hot-Weather

"There are many not-so-gentle euphemisms and colloquialisms about intense, relentless summer heat." So begins Tom Peace's introduction of one of the sunbelt challenges--others being hot soil, high nighttime temperatures, two growing seasons, and drought--which, in general, aren't addressed in most garden books. Sunbelt Gardening offers respite, and with it you'll get the best advice on how to achieve stunning hot-weather gardens all year long.
