Gluttonous Book Purchases

Books bought in Portland ...Of which there are many when it comes to gardening since I can so easily convince myself they are for "work" rather than enjoyment. Nope. No enjoyment here. Purely for work. Incredibly necessary for The Very Important

$2 Gardening Porn

I want to talk about one of my favourite gardening books. It's called "New Kitchen Garden" by Adam Caplin. I bought it as a bargain book for $9.99 but in all honesty it might would have been worth the original price. (Holy moley, Chapter's
