I fell in love with this book when I first borrowed it from our local library. Yes, it was older and a handful of practices within it had since been improved upon within gardening communities, but more often than not, the lessons and strategies within were still sound.

Somehow, such foreknowledge slipped through the sieve of my brain and now I’m trying to salvage some transplants as a result.
