Carol of May Dreams Gardens made a wonderful discovery. Google has made several old gardening books in the public domain available for download.

I’m a “leave it inner” also. Even a weed can be pretty in the garden . . . sometimes.
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.
Thanks for mentioning this. I`m definately going to go and have a look 🙂
