Winter Reading, Courtesy Google
September 7th, 2006 by Kathy Purdy · 3 Comments
Carol of May Dreams Gardens made a wonderful discovery. Google has made several old gardening books in the public domain available for download. This sounds like a great project for the winter, once the seed and plant catalogs have been thoroughly marked up. The quotes she pulled from various books certainly make them sound enticing.

About Kathy Purdy
Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •

Thanks for the blog reference! I’m trying not to go back to Google books until winter when I have more time, but I will be going back to read more.

I’m a “leave it inner” also. Even a weed can be pretty in the garden . . . sometimes.
