I remember gardening as a child, and I agree with Alexander that children have no idea where the good food comes from -my memories are of snapping green beans and shucking corn, fun at times - but certainly hard work! However, I was fascinated with Alexander's garden: with the time and effort he took, his honesty in his faults, his good natured attempts to do the right thing, and his very, very amusing tone. Another great home & garden memoir!
