Annuals are the showstoppers of the garden world. Unlike perennials that return year after year, annuals complete their entire life cycle—sprouting, blooming, and setting seed—in a single growing season. What they lack in longevity, they more than make up for in intensity. They bloom quickly, often prolifically, and offer gardeners a chance to reinvent their spaces every year. With their wide variety of colors, textures, heights, and growth habits, annuals are perfect for those who love experimenting with new looks, color palettes, or garden layouts. But the appeal of annuals goes beyond mere aesthetics. Many of these plants are pollinator magnets, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your yard. Others serve a more practical role, helping suppress weeds, soften soil, or add organic matter when tilled back into the earth at season’s end. From containers on a balcony to sprawling flower beds in the backyard, annuals bring life and joy to any space. This book is structured to guide you from planning to planting, then on through the growing season with tips for nurturing and troubleshooting your garden. You’ll learn how to select the right flowers for your climate and conditions, prepare your soil for healthy growth, and create designs that pop with color and character. We’ll cover everything from sowing seeds and transplanting young plants to caring for your flowers throughout the season and saving seeds for next year’s garden.Show book
For award-winning natural history writer David B. Williams, to be connected to a place you need to pause and look deeply at it. Wild in Seattle is Williams's delightful journey of discovery in this city where not only is nature all around, it's also written in the stones of the urban landscape. Explore the geologic history of glaciers, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes as well as the ways humans shape the Seattle topography. From backyards to downtown, watch for coyotes, crows, seals, otters, owls, and so much more wildlife who also call the region home. Look up at the buildings to find terra cotta eagles, stone that traveled over millions of years from Asia to the San Juan Islands, and clues to the horses who used to power the city's transportation network. Wrap your arms around a giant Douglas-fir, appreciate the unsung yet remarkable skunk cabbage, stop and listen to the spring chorus of frogs. Williams's lively essays will fire up the curiosity of both residents and visitors alike, inspiring all to take a fresh look at the Emerald City.Show book
