Rather than being a technical gardening manual, it is written as a kind of alphabetical “ABC” guide in which gardening themes, problems, and observations are explored in short, essay-like entries.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"363\" data-end=\"811\"\u003eThe tone is personal and witty, often focusing on the everyday frustrations and pleasures of amateur gardening—plants that refuse to behave, changing seasons, and the mixture of science, intuition, and improvisation that gardening requires.
