Real folks with real stories. Love it. I think Thorpe has another book but this is my fav of hers. Have you ever read Mrs. Greenthumbs', Cassandra Danz, books?Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16315635566608283734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876534142667059931.post-42064698149603351762012-06-25T18:26:52.522-05:002012-06-25T18:26:52.522-05:00I do enjoy looking at the photos in the books you ...I do enjoy looking at the photos in the books you review.

I also posted about cottage gardens! And we here in California's dry central valley do indeed garden in the cottage survival tradition.

Yes, Americans have had to adapt to their soil, their climate, and the plants that will live in each area. And that's one thing Americans are good at - adapting! I guess that's why cottage gardening is so popular, and will never go out of style. Thanks so much for joining in - and I loved seeing your sweet little kittens, too! :)HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.com
