Handy Garden Reference Lists
Count me in as one of the list makers of the world. When it comes to gardening, I like to do my research once, compile a useful list, and use it forevermore.
If the topic is something I know Empress of Dirt readers will find useful, I post it here on the website. I often share the lists as ‘printables’, meaning a file you can save and print out or simply view on your device—or both.
If you would like to have the best garden printables (so far), as many of you have requested, they are now available in one handy file.

- This means you use Adobe Reader to read it. Adobe Reader may already be on your device or you can get it free here.
- The copyrighted file is yours to read and enjoy forever—just like a single copy of printed book.
