What a wonderful book! If you've grown up gardening or currently garden, this book will be one you can relate to. The author's stories of gardening brought back so many of my own memories of gardening, including how to deal with invasive insects and weeds, but in such a humourous way. It includes little hints throughout the stories, such as how to get your apple trees to correctly pollinate, but is really a joy to read about his garden from conception to harvesting. For those that love to eat what they grow, this book will be a comfort to read as there are others out there like us!
