Gardeners' Addictions
Seems like there are several items I just can't keep myself from buying - gardening magazines and books. I was in the local used book re-seller in Phoenix (Bookman's) recently and found my self in the gardening section looking for books on gardening in the desert. Besides the usual suspects that I already own like, Gardening by the Month by Mary Irish and Western Garden by Sunset, nothing really piqued my interest. In fact, there really is very little about gardening in the low desert! There is much written about gardening in general, but little in comparison about the low desert. I think I own most of them!
I did find two garden journals - really simple books with lots of blanks to fill in to keep track of what is happening in the garden. I am still looking for the perfect journal it seems after my post Keeping Track of it All a few weeks ago about just such an exercise.
Maybe I will just take all the parts I like from the various journals and make my own!
Happy Digging,
The Garden Goddess

I am addicted to Sunset Magazine because they always have an article or two about gardens in the southwest. Then I dream about the garden I would have if I had a yard suitable for planting.
LOVE this blog!
Thank you, Suzanne
Yes, Sunset is one of my Favs as well! I like seeing what people in other parts of the west are doing. I always get ideas from others gardens.
