If you haven't bought your 2009 calendar yet, or are like me and end up buying several, here's one that's both pretty and practical:

Cacalendar

The author is Nan Sterman, a busy Southern California garden journalist who writes for many newspapers and magazines, including Sunset and whose book, California Gardeners Guide Vol. II, also from Cool Springs Press, I admire greatly.

Each month's page includes information on a plant group that does particularly well in our climate plus some practical technique with enough detail to make it really useful plus a few bonus tips.  I look forward to using it.

This is really a great calendar and the book is also right on for California gardeners. Nan writes in an engaging and practical style that is very useful.
