For over 33 years, gardeners in the South and beyond have turned to Garden Editor Steve Bender for his gardening expertise delivered with equal doses sarcasm and side-splitting humour. In his first book, he delivers valuable tips for planting, troubleshooting, and growing success in his signature cantankerous style. Organized alphabetically by plant type and topic that run the gamut from azaleas and zoysia, to chipmunks and chainsaws, The Grumpy Gardener offers a bumper crop of gardening know-how, pithy advice and ample humour for seasoned Southern gardeners, dirt-digging wannabes and plant assassins alike. This never boring read is a welcome gift for Grumpy fans, serious Southern gardeners and green thumbs everywhere who appreciate tried-and-true gardening advice as much as a great read.

Steve Bender grew up in Maryland, US and was exiled to Alabama in 1983 for reasons that remain secret to this day. He loves fried okra and often selects dinner wine based on whether it goes well with fried okra. His mission is to make gardening uplifting, accessible, and inspirational to all. He will no doubt succeed. Follow him on Twitter: @grumpy-gardener.
