If someone calls at the last minute and asks what you want for Christmas, tell them you want the new book, Planthropology by Ken Druse. I just added it to my own wish list. (Are you reading this Dear Sweet Hubby?) It is the perfect last minute gift for any gardener. It is not cheap, (Listed at $50, but available for $31 at Amazon) but it is filled with beautiful photographs and interesting information.
The subtitle is "The myths, mysteries and miracles of my garden favorites". It covers secret stories and little known facts of plants, dispels myths and shares gardening wisdom. It is getting great reviews from people like Margaret Roach and others. It sounds like a great read for the winter months.

Dh is so fussy I’m afraid to get that for him. Think I’ll check it out of the library first and let him decide.
Gardeners keep raving about this book! I might have to check it out now. Or add it to my Amazon Wish List.
