Re: [GWL]: Is garden reading seasonal?

Ditto...and that goes for much of my writing also. As an Owner of a Garden
Design & Maintenance Service in S.E. PA I  have only time to glance at the
magazines and books while I'm waiting for an oil change. My winters are
spent in front of the hearth catching up (or trying to). My clients, however
seem to devour the magazines in season if  there is a gorgeous photo or
interesting topic on the cover. Of course, I am embarrassed because I
haven't seen or heard it first.
