The curious gardener's almanac : centuries of practical garden wisdom

Over 1000 entries of remarkable information about flowers, vegetables, fruits, trees, herbs, insects, birds, water, soil, tools, composts, climate, recipes, gardens and gardeners, myths, superstitions, biodynamics..In short a collection as profuse and variegated as gardening itself. Woven into this wealth of knowledge are famous quotations, anecdotes, traditional says, lines of verse, and words of rural wisdom.The spirit and focus of the Almanac is British but the wider picture is international as so much of our gardens originated from overseas.Dry or dull information has no place in the almanac and presentation is as appealing as the content.
