Since we're a bit off-topic, I wonder if I could ask which garden authors/books everyone might recommend? It's my favorite winter reading.

 

Gene, have you published? It's so nice to 'hear' your voice again!

 

I hope Chris won't mind a tad more off-topic chatter:-) I know many  of us are starving to get into the dirt and can't for awhile. We're super-soggy in Chicago with the generally warm temps over the last few months.

 

 

  

 

Better bite the bullet and get something to love.  I know certain nurseries are " expensive" but I want what I want.  Told that all the,time but that does not stop the people that say that from taking some of my extras from those expensive plants.

Thank you all for your replies (and not actually saying “Are you crazy?”).  I guess MB is no more likely to change than a certain POTUS, whose name will remain unspoken.
