I am looking for a copy of Living Seasonally and want to know if anyone has a copy that they would like to sell? Thanks, Meredith Vogler, Landscape Design and Restoration, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Dear Wayne, read your artical in horticulture magazine on potted lilies, I know what it’s like to have them all eaten. I now plant lilies and tulips with pea gravel. It’s worked for me for years. Idig up an area where I’m going to plant them,put a couple of inches of gravel then the bulbs more gravel and then the rest of the soil,good drainage for the bulbs and every year they blossom beautifully. Try it, it’s well worth the effort. Good luck,Maria Wigmore

More books. A gardener can never have enough books concerning gardening.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve read their book & seen their garden on gardening programs. This is great!

Carol, I suggest starting with A Year at North Hill. Better yet, make it a Garden Bloggers’ Book Club selection.

Layanee, in the past the open days were the last day of June, July, and August. It would be a terrific place for a blogger’s meet-up, except that there isn’t much in the way of accomodations nearby.

It looks like a wondeful garden and the books are tempting me. I’m weak when it comes to buying books on gardening!

I also thank you. I have read many articles by these gentlemen and would love to see their garden. Let’s all meet there next year if they are open to the public for the day!

Thanks, Kathy – it’s one of those places that you hear about as soon as you get serious about gardening. I’ve had photos sent to me by people who visited North Hill, and I bought Annuals for Connoisseurs when it was new.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and see it in person some day – like you did!
