BORED ME

My fingernails have been dirty since February and will stay dirty till November. And I've earned my calluses.
Thought I might learn a few new tricks from this book.
I thought wrong.
The book might be good for someone with 0 experience. Maybe.
The author fails to mention that you should get connected. The more gardeners you know, the more chances to share plants. And the more knowledge can be shared.
I highly recommend a new gardener understand everything our County Ag agent can do. And it's free.
