Reading

Whatever degree of winter cabin fever you might be experiencing there really is no better way to laugh in its face than some good garden reading. And some of the best garden reading can be found in the form of garden essays.

Chris Clarke, at Creek Running North, has released his e-book, The Irascible Gardener. This is a fine collection of essays gleaned from over ten years of garden writing and is tonic for the winter weary.

I wonder if you have ever read The Contrary Farmer by Gene Lodgson -- might be spelling that last name wrong. In any case your post brought the title to mind.

Thanks,
Owen

Among my favorite garden reads is Karel Capek's "The Gardener's Year".

This winter, with highs in the 70s and 80s in January!, we aren't getting much opportunity to curl up for a winter read.
