Funny and practical too,

This review is from: The Gardener's Gripe Book (Paperback)
For those who like a little humor with their labor, Abby Adams' wry tone strikes just the right note. With chapters titled "From Eve to Martha Stewart," Tree$" and "Enemies List," this self-proclaimed non-expert takes her reader through the anxieties and triumphs of taking a garden from seed to harvest, peppering her own hard won advice with extensive quotes (many hilarious) from the "experts."
She explores the question of lawns, quotes an Englishman on perennials ("A perennial is a plant, that, had it not died, would have returned the following year") shares what she's learned about soil ? "Good soil is like good looks ? something you're born with." This is an enjoyable, readable little book which also happens to be packed with good advice and even better quotations. Perfect after a long day's hard gardening. |
