In two months, I will have been writing a weekly newspaper column for 32 years. During that time, I have written about books created by many garden writers. Now it is my turn. I have written a book on gardening.
“Greener View Gardening” was written to help homeowners understand and care for their lawn and garden. Does this old joke sound like you? “I am such a bad gardener. I once planted a rock garden, but they all died.” Despite many people claiming to have a black thumb, gardening is often said to be the number one hobby in America. We often fear failure and, because there are so many variables including weather, insects and other unknown problems, we may fear gardening.
