In both her TV series and in this month-by-month diary, Christine takes readers and viewers on a charming journey through life, the universe, and most importantly gardening. Recounting the tales of the people she meets, her octogenarian neighbors, the trips she goes on--usually accompanied by her black labrador, Marsie--and a second invasion by a BBC TV crew, the book paints a picture of her life as a gardener, interwoven with lots of practical advice and tips for the reader. With her no-nonsense ways and her down-to-earth approach (she does not do flouncy), readers will be charmed by Christine's enthusiasm and her irrepressible passion for gardening.
