Five new books to fascinate armchair gardeners
very garden and Cullina’s book deserves a place on the shelf of every
gardener wishing to bring out the best in their plants. Rodale’s Ultimate Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening Edited by Fern Marshall Bradley et al (Rodale Books) Unlike Cullina’s book, this one really IS an encyclopedia, and at around two inches thick, quite a hefty one! This edition, newly revised and updated for 2009, must be the most up-to-date and complete resource on the subject of organic gardening. After 50 years it is still the go-to reference for both novices and seasoned organic gardeners. If you’re intrigued by the idea of applying organic methods to fruit and vegetable crops, herbs, trees and shrubs, perennials, annuals and lawns, here’s where you’ll find in- depth information on earth-friendly techniques, using water wisely, managing invasive plants and more. Kitchen Garden Box: Save and Sow Seeds of Your Favorite Vegetables Mike McGrath (Quirk) Organized on cards in a sturdy flip-top box, this fun little package shows gardeners how to collect, store, use and replant seeds of their favorite tried-and-true veggies. In addition to handy cards with step-by-step instructions, growing tips and recipes, the kit includes ten seed storage envelopes and coupons for two free seed packets. A fun gift for a friend or for yourself, Kitchen Garden Box is scheduled for publication in April 2009. The Plant Man is here to help.
