Good information, but very limited
I assumed that there would be a little more "meat" to this book, that it would be more of a "how to". Simply stated, it's a book of perennials and non-blooming plants with an entire page devoted to each one. The "continuous bloom" part comes in the format of the book: the descriptive pages are broken into sections according to bloom time or, in the case of the non-bloomers, when the vegetation appears. That being said, it is an informative guide for those of us who don't have the time or inclination do a lot of research, or to watch our gardens and note the phases of each plant, but still want a great "show" (almost) year round.
The author seems to have taken great pains to find plants that would be suitable in most hardiness zones (most are in the range of zones 3 to 9!), and gives all the details about by soil type and water and light requirements, as expected, but also gives us the pros and cons of each plant listed (i.e. requires staking, prone to powdery mildew, and other nasty and/or garden time-consuming info). She also goes a step further in providing a list of good companion plants and some of her favorite spp and those of other professional gardeners.
It's a worthwhile book for the novice gardener like me but I don't believe that I'd buy it at the suggested retail price.

Easy setup and long battery life
1 of 2 found this helpful It's pretty easy to use, too, except that it takes a while for the voice commands to recognize what you're saying. And, it takes an extra step that's not necessary- when I say "call home" I want it to do just that after saying "I found the number for home", not say "do you want to call home?". It was answering this seemingly simple question that caused me the greatest frustration. I'd wait for the beep and say yes....and nothing would happen....repeatedly. (explains the 4, instead of 5, star review) All that being said, it is a great deal and, as I said, after a little while it better recognizes what your commands mean. Heckuva good price for this and an absolute necessity in my "hands free" state of residence.
