Re: Root diagrams
Yes, I am familiar with Bob Kourik's book -- its one of my favorites and
that was where I first saw reference to the root diagrams, I just never had
an opporutnity to actually go look them up and had forgotten where they
are.
By the way, YOUR EDIBLE LANDSCAPE NATURALLY is a TERRIFIC book and I highly
recommend it.
Thanks, Diane, for your suggestions!
