Dear Friends,

Theres a lot of spring talk in the air. Online, in gardencenters, and everywhere, really. But why not? Spring is a

eeting season, and should be celebrated as abundantly as

possible. After a long stretch of grays, browns, and whites,

brilliant primary colors are starting to come back into the

world.

Nothing epitomizes the joy of color like our new book,

The Gardeners Color Palette. Just one look at the 100

colorful owers will have you feverishly making lists andcalculating how many more plants you can squeeze into

that nice sunny western corner. If youre curious about

containers, Succulent Container Gardens shows how to

design inspired succulent gardens that thrive year-round.

And if your plants start to look a bit peaked, the aptly

titled Whats Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I Fix It?)

will cement your status as a Green Thumb among your

friends. (You dont even have to tell them the secret. Wewont tell either.)

Enjoy the spring!

Your Friends at Timber Press

Teaming with MicrobesTHE ORGANIC GARDENERS GUIDE TOTHE SOIl FOOD WEB

REVISED EDITIONjeff lowenfes and Wane lewis

Healthy soil is teeming with a staggering

multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other

microorganisms. When we use chemical

fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that

sustains healthy plants and become increas-

ingly dependent on an arsenal of articialsubstances. But there is an alternative to this

vicious cycle. Teaming with Microbes extols

the benets of cultivating the soil food web

by clearly explaining the activities and

organisms that make up the web, and

showing how gardeners can cultivate healthy

soil through the use of compost and

mulches.
