Stop and Smell the Flowers

Flower & Garden shows, plants sales, seed catalogs, snowdrops in the front yard, tis the season. The beautiful weather we have had recently has me dreaming of my garden. I have already planted my peas--too early you say--pishaw! Anyhow, we have some lovely new gardening books here at the library, and here is a sampling of a few:

• The Everything Grow Your Own Vegetables Book: Your Complete Guide to Planting, Tending, and Harvesting Vegetables by Catherine Abbott


• Grow Great Grub: Organic Food From Small Spaces by Gayla Trail


• Small Plot High Yield Gardening: Grow Like a Pro, Save Money, and Eat Well...by Sal Gilbertie and Larry Sheehan


• The Vegetable Gardener's Bible by Edward C. Smith (This is an updated edition of one of my favorite gardening books--my copy is filthy from being used in the garden!)
