Gardening from the couch: books
P. Allen Smith, host of the weekly public television show "P. Allen Smith's Garden Home," has published a beautiful new coffee table book, Bringing the Garden Indoors.
Going from room to room, he demonstrates how to the use the bounty of the garden to decorate inside your home with more than 60 projects and bouquets.
One of the most impressive parts of the book is Smith's instruction on how to make the entrance to your home - from the walk to the porch - inviting in ways that can change from season to season and make a stunning invitation into your home. Cost: $32.50.

"Your Organic Garden" by Jeff Cox is the book that I continually refer to. Lots of helpful and informative information written in an understandable format.
Michelle. I didn't want you to go home empty-handed, as it were. So I will be sending you a copy of Rodale's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening. You seem like the perfect person for it--Susan.

I have decades-old Jerry Baker Books that I still use more than any others. There are some very nice picture books, but I know Jerry's ways work.
Eve, you are the winner of the P. Allen Smith book!. I will email you for your shipping info!
