I saw yougrowgirl’s photo on Instagram of the book “Unusual vegetables: Something new for this year’s garden“. The font on the cover reminded me of old gardening books I had when I was young. I was curious and looked it up on Amazon. The cheapest new copy was $103.52… but they had a used (very good condition) for 1ยข… so I went ahead and bought it.

One of My Photos Appears in This Book…
I was so excited when I got this in the mail. One of my photos of our compost bin appears in the book “I Garden: Urban Style” by Reggie Solomon and Michael Nolan… Page 114 to be exact :)
You can order the book from Amazon.

Sunset Magazine
My Mom just got an offer in the mail to get Sunset Magazine (12 issues/year) for $12 and she asked if we should get it… I told her a big “Yup”… The End…
Books
I almost forgot to return some of the books and video that I had borrowed. Luckily, the library doesn’t close until 9pm. So I quickly drove over, return the books and video and got a few more:
– 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden by Carolyn J. Miles
– Northern California Gardening – A Month by Month Guide by Katherine Grace Endicott
– Golden Gate Gardening by Pam Peirce
I haven’t had a chance to read and reply to my LiveJournal and Flickr accounts, so I’m behind on that. So if you commented or asked me a question… I’ll get back to you soon.
Coleus – A Guide to Cultivation and Identification (1974)

The description reads:
Coleus – A Guide to Cultivation and Identification
– Published Edinburgh, John Bartholomew 1974
– 8vo with 116 pages, colour plates/illustrations.
– Book in very good condition, with slighly faded dust jacket .
– First edition signed by both Pedley brothers who were Lancashire nurserymen.
– A delightful little book covering every aspect of cultivation of this versatile plant.
