Although having said that, the joy you take in gardening books and essays separate from the "how to" books that most of us gravitate towards reminds me of some of VW's posts on her blog - and Pomona Belvedere from Tulips in the Woods is also a major reader of garden books. <br /><br />Hmmm...maybe a garden blogger's book club?Susan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729856324446276046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213339149669405453.post-66408454274500959382009-06-01T07:52:04.088-07:002009-06-01T07:52:04.088-07:00Thanks, Billy!

My first foray into plant books must have been Sunset's little bonsai tome. A bit less erudite than your start but it opened a door that's taken me into a mind boggling career far from my roots as a musician. <br /><br />To paraphrase: The longest journey starts with a good read.Garden Wise Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785776337799149082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213339149669405453.post-3093534933698298862009-05-31T19:23:53.260-07:002009-05-31T19:23:53.260-07:00Thanks, Sarah...I've not read 'Making Things Grow'...Thanks, Sarah...I've not read 'Making Things Grow' but that is certainly a familiar name!

I used to watch her PBS show with my mother. Loved her raspy, no nonsense voice. <br /><br />Did my first re-potting job with her book, open to that section. Learned from her the all important trick of rapping a plant pot hard, to dislodge plant from pot.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383568416622077870noreply@blogger.com
