It is so much nicer to have a gardening book with a 'person' inside. Many, many garden books seem to be a set of words about some nice plants with no hint of the author's 'voice'. Beautiful pictures. I will look for this book. :0) DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-49795576951498239962012-02-10T16:01:00.250-08:002012-02-10T16:01:00.250-08:00Gorgeous photos and SKIES!!!
