    Hi All,

    Just got another belter on greenmetropolis com, The Well Tempered Garden by Christopher Lloyd.


    What with the rubbish I have sold on there, this cost me nowt.

    Bargain


    Just thought, is there a recommended book section on here somewhere I can`t find?

    The well tempered garden is a grand gorgeous book. I have an old used copy, if I had to chose two gardening books to bringto the moon one would be this.

    Gorgeous book, Dee, I had it last Xmas from my Mom, never read anything before from Christopher Lloyd, had me hooked, had to buy a handful more. Judging from your garden, you will love it.
