Then there was a vision of creating paradise on 2 acres which could be
seen from space and the challenge to do it. Lots of book work but the
leg work was the gratifying and still the main reason we garden hands on.
Miscues occurring daily some recognized others waiting for the Aha
moment.

Food; humility; gratitude; recreation; psychological and psychic
therapy; peace of mind; cosmic connectivity; whatever of that old hippie
self-realization remains. My second "spring" planting of baby lima beans
is officially "up" today. That mundane miracle evoked the same response
that it did 50+ years ago. I shall garden as long as I am able to do; I
shall garden from my walker or wheelchair. I'll pay some strapling
youngster to build elevated beds even though he believes me to be
crazy....
To the question:
_Gardening for Food and Fun_ the USDA 1980 yearbook;
_The Joy of Gardening_
I have very many others but they are not my favorites. Truth be
told, neither are the two titles above; they simply are my
most-referenced.
Personally, the Internet has largely displaced my hard-copy books
for reference. This is, in large part, due to the ease of identifying
nutritional deficiencies, pathology, etc.
>What use one more wake up call?
...precisely so. Teach your children, says I.
