RE: Magazines, Books & authors

Hi Claire, Cheryl and all the women on the list,

	Thanks for putting me on to Eleanor Perenyi!
you are welcome! I find Eleanor a bit strident at times, but that's ok; I can be a bit strident too.

Here is another New England author I admire.  Anyone out there read "Plant
Dreaming Deep" by May Sarton?  She came late to living in the country and
building a garden from scratch.
I have several of her books, I can't remember if that is one of them. I'll have to go look.

Another NE gardener to read is Roger Swain - more a kin to a nature writer, but his one essay on the ground hog is too wonderful for words.

	If you enjoy correspondence between garden writers, try "The 3,000 Mile
Garden" by Roger Phillips (England) and Leslie Land (Maine)

I've had it for awhile - got after the series was on PBS. There is also a book called Gardening Letters to My Mother. I dip into that one now and again.


Wish I could remember the name of a famous southern garden writer that I
would like to read. I can see her face as plain as can be, but can't think
of her name. She lived to be 90 or so I think and passed away a few years
back.
Elizabeth Lawrence perhaps? She has several good ones.

Try Green Thoughts (Ann Ravner?), Onward and Upward in the Garden by Katherine White (almost laugh out loud funny at times.)
