Garden Anywhere
My friend Laura tipped me off to the book Garden Anywhere. Laura's got every imaginable vegetable growing on her balcony this year. I don't have so much as a window box, but I'm determined that the next place I live will have a little piece of earth to play with. So, I'm putting this purchase down as "research". And, of course, it doesn't hurt that it's filled with all kinds of pretty images of pretty Alys Fowler scrounging around in the earth.

Ooh. This looks good.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspiring book! It made me think about my available gardening space in a different way. I just hope that our balcony doesn't end up falling off due to the weight of a pumpkin patch!
ReplyDeleteThe smell and feel of dark, rich soil - it's good for the soul. I occasionally pot petunias or impatiens. Helps me believe all's right with the world.
ReplyDeleteI've been away for such a while, Jane. And I see you've had lots going on. I've missed being here.
Why don't you come to NY for a weekend getaway? Take in Godot, clear your mind, walk in the parks and gardens. Sounds good, no?
Oh Diana! I've missed you and think about you often! How are you?? A trip to NY sounds lovely, but I need some nature first.
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling overwhelmed by city-life lately. So, while I'd no doubt enjoy NY, as always, it might hasten this meltdown I seem to be heading towards!
P.S. Did you see my Auster post?? http://seenandsaid.blogspot.com/2009/03/book-report-book-of-illusions.html I enjoyed the book so much! Thank you!!!
I'm so inspired by other people's gardens. My tiny collection of boxes seems to be all I can manage though - I regularly forget to water them until I notice they are all sad and wilting.
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteI bought this book several weeks ago and love it. :)
