Books taught me to cook and to a lesser extent how to garden. Mum & dad run a native australian plant nursery so they taught me a lot too. I love how advice varies over time and knowledge develops and different styles of gardening have become more popular. These days I have to admit I'm just as likely to google something as consult one of my books though.

In the interest of shelf space I should do that too. And the library is the best way to go for checking out whether a book is worth owning or not!nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-79264440873055889702012-12-01T05:52:03.519-08:002012-12-01T05:52:03.519-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.nutmeg gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497061826533988682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681714301443584801.post-1653216061359404772012-11-30T18:01:10.897-08:002012-11-30T18:01:10.897-08:00I also have a lot of gardening books and I even go...I also have a lot of gardening books and I even got rid of some that didn't interest me! The Vegetable Gardener's Bible is one I have and a good one. I also have Crockett's Victory Garden and since Granny loves that book I will have to read it some more!!! I have an older one of Joy of Gardening. Thanks for listing yours. There are a couple there I will see if I can check out from the library or inter-library loan!

No others have the dog eared pages and margins filled with fading hand written notes from 35 years of use. And use it I do! I just skip over his remarks on pesticides, and I find the other 99% of the book invaluable. Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
