But there are gardeners out there, even if they're only lawn gardeners, and 
it's a pity that newspapers, and horticultural magazines,to a great extent, 
can't manage to present useful and regional information for their readers. I 
usually shut down my computer around four pm, wash my face and go for a walk 
in the neighborhood, and I do see some gardens with flowering annuals, and 
sometimes I can peek, unabashed, into back yards and see a vegetable garden, 
and it always makes my day.

Right on, Gerald!
Books have been written on vernacular and ethnic gardens and I for one would 
welcome more. History isn't only for the grand, and we'll be glad in the 
future for these books about the "humble" were published. Did someone say we 
are a nation of immigrants?
