Read this one in a single day. I enjoy his writing style... just wish there was some vegetable gardening mixed in with all of his flowers and dhrubs!

This was our 18th Retirement Read Aloud. Getting ready for our new garden this year.

Home Ground: A Gardener’s Miscellany by Allen Lacy (Farrar Straus Giroux 1984) (635.9). This volume is a collection of essays by the former garden writer for the Wall Street Journal. This is quite a funny book. My rating: 7/10, finished 2004.

I like Allen Lacy and all of his books. He tends to always come up with something out of the ordinary to peak your attention and I always learn from his reads.

An enjoyable visit with a humorous and knowledgable gardener.
