@@ChicagoGardener I got The Tiny but Mighty Farm by Jill Ragan of Whispering Willow Farms (RUclips). I have a fairly good size backyard, although I’ll never have a farm, but I figured there would be things I would learn from this book. I also really enjoy watching her content and she mentioned wanting to write a second book,, that she needed to sell X amount of the first book for that to happen. I wanted to help her out. I also ordered Cool Flowers by Lisa Mason Ziegler. It’s about how to grow long blooming hardy annual flowers using cool weather techniques. This doesn’t include the dehydrator book I bought as I’m learning how to use the dehydrator I got for Christmas. Looking forward to using the dehydrator when my garden starts producing again. I picked up Wild Tea book at the library. So far I’m enjoying it. Although you should’ve seen the look on the young man’s face when he asked the name of the book I was looking for. I’m pretty sure he didn’t think I was talking about tea , as in a drink. “Wild Tea?” “Yes, as a drink, not today’s analogy of tea” 🤣
Gardening book addiction? I hear you! There's just something about digging into a good, real paper book that you just can't get from an ebook or Google search. You've chosen some interesting books - I'm getting much more into those that are about the lives of gardeners past instead of simply educational type books. And that is a beautiful book for your journal!
Wonderful books. You are quite the story teller. I love to hear you speak. I thought in the beginning you were an educator. But now I know you are in marketing. You speak so open and freely where is your husband all this time does he hear you in the background? I’m just curious.
OMG, this is the weirdest coincidence but for over a decade I had 2 pages of watercolor looking paintings with "January" and maybe "April" at the top and birds. I have zero idea where they came from but 2 weeks ago I noticed they were missing and became pretty upset. So I just googled "the country diary of an edwardian lady" and "January" and it's the same freaking art. THANK YOU! I absolutely love her art style and I'm kind of picky
@@ChicagoGardener nope ☹️ I was cleaning out my books (to buy more books LOL) And I think the two pages were stuck in one of the books I got rid of.. it's funny because as soon as I mentioned the title to my mom she said "oh I had that book". I almost need 2 copies of it now or some way of putting her art on my wall. Amazon has a spiral bound version but I wonder if that means you could take out a page, put it in frame, then put it back later.. no idea
Looks like many of us are in the same company, lots of garden book lovers. . I’ve had two garden books delivered in the past week. 😁. Love the idea of picking up books at special places, now I’m kicking myself that I didn’t buy any at Monticello or Mount Vernon when we were there in early spring of 2020. I did buy a few packets of seeds though, this was just prior to starting my own seeds. It would be ugly if I went now. I also like the idea of checking out used bookstores. The Wild Tea book sounds very interesting. . I’m going be picking it up at the library tomorrow, to see if I need to buy it.
All these books sound great... Thanks so much for the suggestions. Ive subscribed to Garden Gate magazine for a few years (a favorite), & highly recommend. Happy reading! 😃
Sorry I have one more thing to add! I'm clogging up your wall. I recently purchased insect identification type books. Rodale is awesome. It goes into plant fungal diseases too. Another garden book I actually read: "silent spring" by Rachel Carson. It was written in the 60s and it's it's about the dangers of pesticides and herbicides. She sounds like she was an incredible person
In a world filled with so much negativity and hate. Especially here in Chicago. You're cozy channel is appreciated. Thank you for everything you do.
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear.

I love looking through garden books especially older ones.
I love the older ones so much! That’s usually where I find the most unique ideas.
Books and gardening, two of my favorite things!
Mine too!

I feel like I retain the information a lot better in a physical book compared to reading online too!

That’s an amazing coincidence! I’m glad you know where they’re from now. Did you ever find your original two pages?

I’m adding that to my magazine list too! Thank you!
You might like “Fine Gardening” magazine! I love it!
I will add that to my list!! Thank you for the recommendation!

I need a book on fungal disease! That’s an issue I definitely deal with bc of our rainy weather.
