Reading keeps gardeners growing this winter season
A column reviews several gardening books as winter reading for gardeners. Mea Allen discusses weeds and their history in Weeds the Unbidden Guests in Our Gardens. Margaret Baker’s Gardener's Magic and Folk lore surveys folklore from England and America. Mary Lee Coe's Growing With Community Gardens offers practical steps to start and sustain a neighborhood plot. The Rodale Herb Book edited by William Hylton compiles herbal history and uses. David Vickers's The Complete Urban Farmer is a slim city farming guide. Invest in a new gardening book to rest the hands while feeding the mind.
