Wisdom and advice from a legendary gardener.
Want to Read"Many gardeners will agree that hand-weeding is not the terrible drudgery that it is often made out to be. Some people find in it a kind of soothing monotony. It leaves their minds free to develop the plot for their next novel or to perfect the brilliant repartee with which they should have encountered a relative's latest example of unreasonableness."-Christopher Lloyd, WELL TEMPERED GARDEN (Horticulture Garden Classic)
