I'd never heard of him until I was given this book, but I'm a big fan now.<br /><br />@TheWriteGardener,<br /><br />You probably wouldn't have it laying around without using it because you'd be flipping through the pages looking for ideas. I'm already dreaming of growing a couple of the plants in the book, just so I can try a recipe or too.MrBrownThumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326733084344581944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14573299.post-22547324090128015902009-12-26T20:30:33.431-06:002009-12-26T20:30:33.431-06:00I have so many gardening books layin ar...I have so many gardening books layin around here that I'll never get all of them read.
