I am enjoying dipping into the book in the evenings and reading excerpts to my husband - not the plant stuff, as he is a non-gardener, but parts of the narrative like jumping from boulder to boulder to avoid landmines. There was one complaint about all the photos being grouped. I found that an advantage when I was filling out my seed exchange requests - it was easy to skim through the photo sections and check the seedlists to see if seeds were available. I have been buying Ruksans seeds from Kristl Walek's Gardens North seedhouse, but seed has not been available for everything, and his book explains why - not all of his bulbs can produce seeds in his climate.
