The ones others have mentioned sound very good, too.

I was excited last night because I got to read the section on larkspur, Mexican petunia, cosmos, and zinnias. Those are some of my favorites. This book was a great choice for April/May. <BR/><BR/>Both of the suggestions above for June/July sound great. <BR/><BR/>LisaLisa Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288352630209939371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-24429540724862909472007-04-27T11:20:00.000-04:002007-04-27T11:20:00.000-04:00I recently reread Midge Ellis Keeble's "Tottering ...I recently reread Midge Ellis Keeble's "Tottering in My Garden: A Gardener's Memoir".

This is a book of essays. It would be easy and pleasant during the wonderful months of June and July to pick up the book and read an essay or two. It is 280 pages long.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.com
