Landscaping with Fruit $23.98 Fruit trees, shrubs, and vines are true two-for-one plants. Many varieties are strikingly beautiful – well suited to doing double duty as delicious sources of sweet, organic fruit and as ornamental additions to the home landscape. Backyard fruit plants also tie in perfectly with the growing locavore movement. It’s difficult to find food that’s more local than one’s own backyard "Luscious landscaping," as author Lee Reich calls it, takes fruit-bearing plants off the commercial farm and replants the prettiest and tastiest specimens in suburban and rural yards. Spring blossoms, summer and fall fruit, and the year-round presence of the plants themselves bring a special magic to the home landscape. Pillowy pink blossoms on peach branches or the bright orange fruit of persimmon trees perk up their surroundings with color and drama. Beautiful plants, yes, but these landscaping additions also provide sweet, nutritious fruit. Homegrown, organic varieties bear almost no resemblance to commercially produced fruits, which are bred and selected to withstand shipping and refrigerated storage conditions. It’s hard to believe that Alpine strawberries and those grown in California and shipped across the country are even related Fruitscaping is a complete, no-nonsense guide to growing temperate-zone fruit, with information on everything from planting and pruning to pest control and harvesting. Readers will find all the basics of landscaping with fruit – site analysis, climate assessment, understanding soil and sun, plant selection, and optimizing growing conditions. An encyclopedia of 38 plants includes information for each entry on hardiness, size, potential pests, special care and pruning, harvesting, and visual appeal. |

More and more Americans are looking to grow clean, delicious produce at home, saving money and natural resources at the same time. And food plants have been freed from the backyard, gracing the finest landscapes–even the White House grounds Creasy’s expertise on edibles and how to incorporate them in beautifully designed outdoor environments was first showcased in the original edition of Edible Landscaping (Sierra Club Books, 1982), hailed by gardeners everywhere as a groundbreaking classic. Now this highly anticipated new edition presents the latest design and how-to information in a glorious full-color format, featuring more than 300 inspiring photographs. Drawing on the author’s decades of research and experience, the book presents everything you need to know to create an inviting home landscape that will yield mouthwatering vegetables, fruits, nuts, and berries. The comprehensive Encyclopedia of Edibles–a book in itself–provides horticultural information, culinary uses, sources, and recommended varieties; and appendices cover the basics of planting and maintenance and of controlling pests and diseases using organic and environmentally friendly practices. |

The Black & Decker Backyard Playground: Recreational Landscaping & Play Structures $3.98 By combining building projects for children’s play structures with tips and ideas for creative landscaping, this book goes much further than any other to helping readers create a fun, safe, and interactive outdoor play area for their children in an environment that is useful and appealing to adults. The projects in this book include a broad range of designs, for kids ranging from toddlers to teenagers. The play structure project is the classic, timber-style set found in many yards and can accommodate several accessories and future modifications. Playing in either of the two tree house projects, kids will find adventure, privacy, and a connection to the outdoors. The climbing wall project provides kids — and parents — with a fun way to develop strength and concentration. There are also projects for playhouses and forts that kids can help build and several plans for child-size outdoor furniture. Where appropriate, projects are designed for adaptation to a different use after the child outgrows them. For example, the sandpit project is a decorative sandbox that can easily be adapted into a garden bed; the playhouse could become a garden shed in later years, in addition to the projects, there are dozens of tips for using trees and other plantings to create private, natural places for kids that are integrated with the general landscape. This book focuses on the nationwide trend of parents encouraging outdoor play for their kids while, at the same time, keeping them close to home. |

Europeans, on the other hand, have long understood the value of making the most of what the land has to offer, emphasizing a gardens potential for year-round productivity and beauty.

In addition, Landscaping with Fruits and Vegetables includes an authoritative series of "Plant Information Sheets" featuring the most up-to-date, genetically advanced tree, bush and plant varieties available. They not only specify the characteristics and varieties of each plant and where you can get them, but describe how to maintain them for maximum productivity and longevity. Information on drainage and irrigation, pest control, espaliering, container gardening and pollination requirements as well as an extensive bibliography make this an informative and indispensable reference for any home gardener. |

The Backyard $8.47 As professional wrestling exploded into new heights of popularity in the 1990s thanks to stars such as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, and Mick Foley, a new breed of amateur wrestling began to grow in its shadow — “backyard wrestling,” in which young fans would recreate the outsized personas and bloody, bone-crushing stunts of the big time wrestlers while adding a few bizarre low-budget touches of their own. The Backyard is a documentary which presents an objective portrait of the bizarre world of backyard wrestling, focusing on the folks in the ring (mostly teenagers) and how and why they literally make themselves bleed for audiences who often number less than a dozen. Some dream of stardom (with a few forming their own semi-pro leagues), while others simply thrive on the attention and adrenaline. The filmmakers also visit with the friends and families of the young grapplers, some of who are genuinely supportive while others are visibly appalled at the antics in the makeshift rings. WWE star Rob Van Dam also makes a guest appearance. The Backyard had its world premier at the 2002 South by Southwest Film Festival, and has since won prizes at the 2002 Edinburgh International Film Festival, the 2003 Texas Film Festival, and the 2003 Brooklyn Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

There’s a Bobcat in My Backyard!: Living with and Enjoying Urban Wildlife $17.98 Bobcats in your backyard? Javelinas tromping through your landscaping? Or maybe a packrat has found its way into the vent of your clothes dryer and decided to call it home. . . . Human residents of the Sonoran Desert are sometimes not completely comfortable when confronted by the wild creatures with whom they share this fragile habitat. But have no fear–please Not only do these critters mean you no harm, they can also be a source of immense delight. In this entertaining guidebook, naturalist Jonathan Hanson introduces readers to the satisfaction of attracting and enjoying desert wildlife. Whether your home is deep within the city limits or on what is (currently) the edge of human settlement, you can turn your backyard into a miniature wildlife refuge by providing a simple combination of food, water, and habitat. An appropriately landscaped yard can become a home for a bevy of birds, beasts, and bugs, while even a condo patio can attract colorful hummingbirds and butterflies. Hanson advises you on what kind of birdseed to put out to attract the most interesting avian species, how to tell the difference between rabbits and jackrabbits, and when to worry about roving reptiles–which really isn’t all that often. He’ll even help you pick out a pair of binoculars to heighten your enjoyment. Not all desert creatures offer people a positive experience, and Hanson tells how to cope with those that are sometimes considered pests–whether it’s the Gila woodpecker announcing its presence on your roof at five in the morning, the rattlesnake slithering unconcerned across your porch, the coyote running amok with a taste for wandering housecats, or the aforementioned woodrat homesteading in a major appliance or car engine. From bears to bees to "creepy crawlies"–scorpions, spiders, and the like–he lets you know when you need to be cautious . . . and when you simply need to give a wild animal its space. If you live in the desert, you’re part of the desert. This book, generously laced with humor and brimming with helpful information, can turn you from a mere bystander into an active participant in an environment in which we all–people and wildlife–must coexist. |

Appropriate knowledge about landscaping, irrigation and floriculture, technical terms are quite necessary for individuals in the field of horticulture and agriculture.

Some terms have more than one definition for sound and clear understanding.

In Our Backyard $34.95 Most attempts to control pollution have been piecemeal, focusing on one environmental component at a time, such as air or water, and have not addressed the big picture. Such efforts have not fully accounted for the Earth’s fundamental interconnectedness and unity; as a result, pollution control has often lagged behind pollution-related problems. This book puts all the pieces together as it explains how pollution affects all components of the environment. Using layperson’s language and an easy-to-use question and answer format, it describes: how the components of the environment operate together; major sources of pollution; and what we can do to clean up our surface water, groundwater, and air.

Backyard Bigfoot $20.98 Bigfoot…Fact or Fiction? Read this book before you decide From recent footprints to ghostly figures painted on stone centuries ago, "Backyard Bigfoot" presents startling evidence that the hairy creatures who lurk in our world’s backcountry represent more than a figment of our collective imagination. Bigfoot expert Lisa A. Shiel lays out the evidence – physical and folkloric, ancient and modern – to prove that Bigfoot and its kin all over the world stand closer to us than we ever imagined. If you’re a newcomer to the subject, you’ll learn valuable facts as the author guides you through the mine field of theories, counter-theories, and assumptions about Bigfoot. Knowledgeable researchers will find a treasure trove of little-known evidence and usually taboo concepts. In perfect detail, Shiel lays out her singular and astonishing revelations about Bigfoot, gleaned from years of research – both in the field and in the historical archives. Joining her odyssey, you’ll explore: * Stick signs -purposeful symbols created with sticks and other material; * Mane braiding, where intricate braids appear in horses’ manes overnight; * Predominant Bigfoot theories, and why they don’t fit the facts; * UFO-Bigfoot connection details typically dismissed by academic pedagogues; and * Distorted human history and how it affects our perceptions of the Bigfoot enigma. From human evolution to lost civilizations, from UFOs to ancient artwork, Shiel weaves disparate threads into one incredible yet thoroughly believable theoretical tapestry – and leaves you breathless. |

There are also features on harvesting, storing, freezing, and preserving crops to enjoy later in the winter months and the early-spring gap when little is ready to harvest.

Landscaping & Lawn Care (John Deere) $5.99 Provides practical and accessible projects that homeowners can accomplish in a weekend. Creating a comfortable, attractive, and safe outdoor living space is an essential part of home ownership. While homeowners take great responsibility for their home’s exterior maintenance and pride in its curb appeal, yard work often poses the greatest challenge to new homeowners, especially those who are limited on time and resources. This illustrated reference book provides homeowners with practical information to handle their yard care needs and protect their most valuable asset. While there are many books available on lawn care, the lawn is only half the battle in creating an enviable yard; trees, beds, walkways and paved areas are an important part of outdoor spaces. Most new homeowners aren’t interested in the minutia of lawn maintenance and fertilizing; they need to start at the beginning and receive a broader overview. Questions homeowners may ask themselves include: What type of mower should I buy? Do I need to aerate? When is the best time to water? How often do I need to trim my hedges? What is the most effective way to improve the look of my yard? What’s involved in creating the most popular outdoor projects and does it make sense to do myself or should I hire a contractor? John Deere’s Illustrated Guide to Landscaping & Lawn Care will walk homeowners though these common questions and provide inspiring weekend projects that will allow them to use their new found knowledge in practical ways. |
