The Gardener's Bookshelf


I have lots of books about plants and gardening, which I took to my current residence which has only a dry sun-burnt balcony. I don't have a real dirt garden and haven't had one for thirty years. I put containers filled with potting soil on the balcony and occasionally have luck growing from seed. Other years the squirrels destroy anything I grow. Even the cacti don't do well on the balcony. The books remain with me, full of flower images and old seed catalogues and encyclopedias of things I probably will never need or grow again. I can always try, and pull out a book covered with dust.
