Mediterranean Gardening: A Waterwise Approach

$25.48

Gardening in harmony with a Mediterranean climate means taking advantage of winter rain and allowing the garden to rest over hot summers. In this beautifully illustrated, practical handbook, Heidi Gildemeister provides both novice and experienced gardeners with a comprehensive guide for waterwise gardening, with over one thousand drought-tolerant Mediterranean plants chosen both for their beauty and for their easygoing ways. Well indexed with common and botanical names, "Mediterranean Gardening "will be indispensable not only for gardeners in California, the Mediterranean basin, and Mediterranean climate areas in South America, Australia, and Africa, but for anyone living in a region that experiences drought. Gildemeister explains how drought-tolerant plants that are suitably matched with a site and carefully planted and mulched can live on winter rain and, once established, do not need additional summer water–as in nature. The Plant Selection lists over one thousand plants from nearly five hundred genera, including their preferred growing conditions, propagation, best use, and maintenance. Guidelines in eight steps describe the planning of waterwise gardens, such as for the establishment of dappled shade to conserve precious soil moisture. Successful alternatives to the water-intensive lawn offer attractive design ideas. "Mediterranean Gardening "offers a wealth of information: "easy" plants for the beginner, new choices for the garden architect, and for botanists the latest findings on minimum temperatures plants can endure. An extensive bibliography covering drought tolerance and a list of useful addresses make this book as helpful to people converting to water-, labor-, and ecology-conscious gardening as to those starting from scratch.

The A.B.C. of Cloche Gardening

$34.48

The A.B.C. of Cloche Gardening. By W.E. Shewell-Cooper. "It is a pity that the French term "Cloche" was ever applied to this definitely English method of crop production. Continuous cloches are merely glass tents or barns which fit neatly end to end and cover rows of plants- they act, in fact, as low as greenhouses, and instead of taking the plants to the glass house, as is normally the case, you take the glass house to the plants. We proved at the horticultural training centre that continuous cloches made all the difference to soil warmth and therefore to earliness. Thus it is possible to get more crops per year from a piece of ground under cloches than without the use of these glass "covers." The latest developments concerning soil warming under cloches are most interesting and prove that, with a little extra soil warmth provided by electricity, more can be done with continuous cloches in the winter than was previously thought possible. We can therefore honestly recommend continuous cloches to all those who want to increase production at any time " Contents include: The continuous cloche- Soil preparation and manuring- Seed sowing and ventilating- Cropping, continuity, standardisation and watering- Planning and strip cropping- Root crops- Peas and beans- The cabbage family- Other vegetables- Salads- Tomatoes- Herbs- The more unusual vegetables- Fruits under cloches- Flowers- Convenient propagation- Pests and diseases- Sowing and cropping guide, The cloche handle and panel- Sowing and harvesting charts Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these classicworks in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The Essential Earthman: Henry Mitchell on Gardening

$15.48

"The most soul-satisfying gardening book in years." — New York Times (March 1982, reviewing the 1981 cloth edition from IU Press). "Genuinely a classic…" — Los Angeles Times (on the occasion of Houghton Mifflin’s paperback edition, which came out in 1994). "Is there anyone alive with the slightest interest in gardening who doesn’t know that Henry Mitchell is one of the funniest and most truthful garden columnists we’ve got?" — Allen Lacy "Mitchell is a joy to read. He has tried and failed, persevered and triumphed, and he has many sound recommendations for us fumblers and failures." — Celestine Sibley, in the Atlanta Constitution. "Henry Mitchell is one of America’s most entertaining and enlightening garden writers…. ‘Garden writer’ fails, in truth, to describe this man. He gardens and he writes — the former, if we take him at his word, with lust and loathing, foolhardiness and finesse; the latter with gentle irony and consummate skill." — Pacific Horticulture "Mitchell mixes practical advice, encouragement, philosophic consolation and wit. He is the neighbor you wish you could talk to over the back fence." — House and Garden Henry Mitchell was to gardening what Izaak Walton was to fishing. The Essential Earthman is a collection of the best of his long-running column for the Washington Post. Although he offered invaluable tips for novice as well as seasoned gardeners, at the heart of his essays were piquant observations: on keeping records; the role of trees in gardens (they don’t belong there); how a gardener should weather the winter; on shrubs, bulbs, and fragrant flowers — and about observation itself. Here’s one example: Marigolds gain enormously in impact when used as sparingly as ultimatums. Henry Mitchell came to his subject with reverence, passion, humor, and a contagious enthusiasm tempered only by his sober knowledge of human frailty. The Essential Earthman is for all who love gardening — even those who only dream of doing it.

Gardening in Eden: Seasons in a Suburban Garden

$3.48

"Though an old man," Thomas Jefferson wrote at Monticello, "I am but a young gardener." Every gardener is. In "Gardening in Eden, " we enter Arthur Vanderbilt’s small enchanted world of the garden, where the old wooden trestle tables of a roadside nursery are covered in crazy quilts of spring color, where a catbird comes to eat raisins from one’s hand, and a chipmunk demands a daily ration of salted cocktail nuts. We feel the oppressiveness of endless winter days, the magic of an old-fashioned snow day, the heady, healing qualities of wandering through a greenhouse on a frozen February afternoon, the restlessness of a gardener waiting for spring. With a sense of wonder and humor on each page, Arthur Vanderbilt takes us along with him to discover that for those who wait, watch, and labor in the garden, it’s all happening right outside our windows.

Prairie Winterscape: Creative Gardening for the Forgotten Season

$4.98

In "The Prairie Winterscape: Creative Gardening for the Forgotten Season" experienced gardeners Barbara Kam and Nora Bryan show how to claim winter as a gardening season by exploring the different and surprising ways to create natural beauty during the "no-grow" time of year. Many prairie gardeners are unaware that their gardens can be winter wonderlands with as much visual appeal as the glorious summer landscapes they are accustomed to. For most, the first hard frosts are a sign to put the garden to bed until spring, which in some places and some years can be as many as 260 days away. Thatas a long time for an avid gardener to be "on hold," yearning to work the soil and smell the roses. But it needn’t be so. By selecting trees and shrubs with dramatic silhouettes and colorful berries and bark, creating ornamental focal points that are enhanced by delicate rims of frost or a light blanket of snow, and leaving flower borders filled during the winter months with a collection of sturdy plants and grasses boasting interesting seed heads, prairie gardeners can redefine their favorite pastime to include the "forgotten season." It’s an idea whose time has come.

Seascape Gardening: From New England to the Carolinas

$20.48

Gardening by the sea is unlike any other gardening experience in the world. The gentle, misty light, moderate climate, and natural beauty of the coast only make seaside gardens more beautiful. Add to that the pleasant memories of summers spent by the sea as a child, and the allure is irresistible for most any gardener or ocean-lover. But aside from the scenic landscape and romantic setting are serious challenges to be overcome. The East Coast is known for its extreme weather–storms blow in during the winter with gale-force winds, spraying sand and salt on every plant in their path. Even during the summer, high winds, fierce sun, and periods of drought challenge the toughest plants. Seaside gardens must be able to tolerate the elements and still look good. Author Anne Halpin is a renowned garden designer and writer who lives on Long Island Sound. She navigates the rocky shores and sandy dunes of the East Coast from New England to South Carolina, showing readers how to plant and care for seaside gardens that work with the elements, not against them. Keeping in mind those who only dream of living by the sea, Halpin also offers portraits of successful seaside gardens up and down the coast, with stunning images from award-winning photographer Roger Foley.

Garden Musings: Essays on Gardening and Life from the Kansas Flint Hills

$31.48

In the first essay in "Garden Musings," this gardening writer states, "The evidence keeps racking up that I, the Hoosier-born offspring of several generations of farmers, chose through ignorance to garden in a delightful area combining the world’s worst soil and an exasperating climate, all augmented by various man-made and natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, droughts, prairie fires, hail, drenching rains, ice-storms, late freezes, boiling summers, and seventy mile per hour winds. " Gardening, with all the pressures of struggle between the environment, wild animals, and the gardener, and particularly in the harsh Kansas weather, is not for the faint-hearted as demonstrated by the many essays in the book including Sweet (Corn) Pain, Weather-Weary, Midden Misery, and Soil Sorrows. While the essays are full of useful personal observations about gardening style, plant information, and garden practices, the author also turns his wry eye on tumbling a number of gardening tenets and institutions as he turns his attentions on composting, lawn maintenance, and landscape designers who work primarily in junipers, Japanese barberry and Stella de Oro daylilies. The timing and content of programming of the Home and Garden Television Network and the lack of availability of G-rated gardening statues are other topics that don’t escape this garden curmudgeon. Gardeners searching for practical advice or simply for winter-reading pleasure will all find fulfillment within these pages.
