![]() Camden House 1989 IBSN 0-920656-87-0 I just love reading this book for it reminds me how people just stumble into life long passions. Like Midge, I too started gardening by receiving a seed catalogue in the mail and before I knew it I was planting out flowers with exotic names and French vegetables for my potager. A bonus to this read is that she is Canadian. (No obvious VIRL Listing) Recommended by Laurie. |
