Summary

"Gardeners trapped inside on a rainy day need only two things to get by-a cup of chocolate in their left hand and One Man's Garden in their right." -Southern Living This "wonderful" essay collection from the former Washington Post columnist and author of The Essential Earthman (Horticulture) offers a harvest of sharp observations and humorous adventures gathered during a year in the garden-along with much down-to-earth advice. "A year's worth of wry observations about the peculiarities and pleasures of gardening . . . His book, designed primarily for small town gardens of less than a quarter-acre, and written from the relatively balmy perspective of Washington, D.C. (climatic zone 5), is the perfect makings of a winter read for those planning next year's garden. Mitchell's chatty style is entertaining as well as informative . . . Water gardeners in particular will enjoy Mitchell's obsession with water lilies, other aquatic plants and fish." -Publishers Weekly "An experienced gardener/environmentalist who mixes solid gardening information along with the right blend of humor and human interest." -Library Journal "Every page is filled with his irascible, wholly unpretentious voice. He never tries to be funny or erudite. He just is." -The New York Times
