the enemy may be us

Too many potential gardeners are deprived of the joys and comforts of gardening by garden writers and instructors  who have turned the hobby into something akin to rocket science.  As an avid gardener myself, I am mystified when I hear fellow gardeners talk about the toil and time they invest unnecessarily.  I wonder why anyone double digs, turns a compost pile, spends hours weeding, or annihilates multitudes of beneficial insects while pursuing a few villains.  
 
We need to be talking about pleasure and fulfillment, not torture and boredom.  Life is short.  Where is the joy?  
 
I have just published a book that talks a lot about joy and having a gloriously lush and bountiful garden without dedicating your life to the process. It is called Earthly Delights: Gardening by the Seasons the Easy Way (Taylor Trade Publishing, 2004)  If this sounds like a book you would like to review or introduce to your readers, contact Tracy Miracle, Publicist -  Taylor Trade Publishing  -  4720 Boston Way   Lanham, MD  20706.
