Hello Everyone!

Here's an update on the emergency lawn job 2wks ago – “everything area has new shoots (light green) comming up andeveryone is happy!

Now for the book review -

I once read, somewhere:

          “A home without a library, is like a person without a soul…”

Thats when I began to first get books wherever I could the $1-books (some good stuff), borrow and not return books (better stuff and free), and of course the ones I previewed at the library or book store before actually paying for and taking them home (great stuff and at time costly) and will not lend out to NOBODY!

Book #1 – Silent Spring / Rachel Carson

This classic book gave birth to the modern environmental movement. Carson exposes the hazards of pesticides and other pollution, sounding both a warning and a call to action. I found it to be sad but enlightening and give it three (3) flower pots out of a possilble five (5).

Book #2 – Green Living / eMagazine

From the editors of E/The Environmental Magazine, this book offers a thorough, step-by-step plan to make informed, green choices for every aspect of your life. With advice on everything from planet-friendly cosmetics to home-based renewable energy, and straight talk on hemp, hybrids and of course gardening, Green Living is a great reference for any environmentalist.

I will have reviews next week on actual hands on gardening books. This past week I just wanted to give a foundation to the reviews that will come; why you/everyone should support the earth and not because of a fad. Both of the above books will make you concerned with building strong, healthy home and community.

If you would like to recommend a good or great gardening/environmental read, please leave your review or just the name of the book and author here at the forum.

Until the next review,

Perennialy,
