Book excerpt: He visits thousands of gardeners each year. Some of them see him coming, others are caught by surprise. Far too many never recover. His name is Jack Frost -- and he's coming soon to a garden near you. A Gardener's Guide to Frost is packed with practical advice that every gardener can put to use each summer. Readers will learn to look at their gardens the way Jack Frost does so they can keep their gardens thriving despite his icy visits. The clear, easy-to-understand explanations come from someone with dirt under his fingernails, and the book includes helpful tables and other resources, including a handy chart listing the frost tolerance of common garden vegetables. Readers will also meet some gardeners who have devised ways to keep on gardening right past fall frosts and into winter. For all its practical advice, however, this book doesn't present Jack Frost as some sort of villain who spoils our all-too-short gardening seasons. Rather, it explains how we can learn to garden with frost -- even embracing it as a friend who helps us slow down and appreciate the beautiful and fleeting gifts of gardening. Book jacket.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ... PLANTS MOST USED FOE WINTER AND SPRING DECORATION, WITH THEIE GENERAL TREATMENT, CULTUEE, AND PROPAGATION. Altssum (madwokt). The Alyssum is one of the most useful. It begins to bloom as early as February if it has been properly cared for; and it continues less or more up to the end of May. April is perhaps the time it makes most display, when its golden yellow bloom comes out in great profusion, either as beds or ribbons, or as edgings to baskets, vases, &c, where something half-trailing is required. They can be lifted back and forward at any time. Some of our plants are several years old, and never fail in blooming; they are even now (end of August), so much in bloom as to make a good show in the back border where they are laid in. Varieties.--There are a great many very beautiful varieties besides those mentioned in this work; but not having grown them we can only say, the early-blooming sorts can be used as those given. Saxatile has a light leaf and bright yellow flowers. Saxatile variegata is a good edging plant, and blooms as the other, but if used for edging the bloom frequently takes away the effect of the variegation. Argenteum is a silvery-leaved variety, with yellow flowers. Calycinum is an annual, and for spring-blooming should be sown in August, and transplanted into the beds. It makes beautiful white edgings, and is very sweet. Treatment and Culture.--They grow in any common garden soil, and, like many of the Cruciferse, will keep alive for months without any roots whatever if kept from the hot sun. In planting them in the autumn in beds or rows, they are spread out and pegged into their proper places. When the beds are large a few Lasthenia seed are sprinkled over the surface, or a few plants put between, which being the...

Book excerpt: One summer long ago, a young barefoot boy bounded out the backdoor of his house and looked at the world around him in wonder. Years later, he has yet to come back inside. Author John B. DeLap is that boy, still walking in the world in awe of nature and the life that surrounds him. In Frost Flowers, DeLap offers a collection of short essays, or frost flowers, that capture the rich tapestry of his life and the people, places, and things that have filled him with joy and sometimes sadness. From homecomings to making tea in the woods, he provides a moving collection of vignettes that weave together the inseparable connection between his life and nature. DeLap shares poignant recollections of growing up in southern Indiana and a life lived in the heartland. The stories show his deep connection to the natural world while encouraging others to seek their own place in nature, to strap on their boots and go for a hike in the woods.

Download or read book The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee written by Talya Tate Boerner and published by One Mississippi Press LLC. This book was released on 2020-03 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this award-winning, coming-of-age novel, ten-year-old Gracie Lee struggles to make sense out of her life as an Arkansas farm girl in the early 1970s. Wise beyond her age yet imbued with child-like innocence, Gracie focuses on the three things that keep her awake at night: Solving the mystery of the man in the gray house; Surviving another school year at Savage Crossing Elementary; and, Saving her alcoholic Daddy from himself (and thereby saving the whole family and wider world). Gracie feels certain there is more to life beyond school and dull church sermons. She worries about the soldiers in Vietnam and wonders what it must be like to have been born Lisa Marie Presley from Tennessee instead of Gracie Lee Abbott from Arkansas. Mostly, she wishes her Daddy wasn't so mean. Gracie's unchecked imagination leads to Nancy Drew-type adventure. Adventure leads to trouble. She confides in unexpected characters and seeks solace in a mysterious gray house beyond the cotton field. When Gracie faces a difficult family situation, she must make a life-altering decision, one that will test the very essence of her character. "At best, most first novels indicate potential. It would be wrong to say that, when reading Talya Tate Boerner's The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee, I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, I was amazed. There's magic here, in a wonderfully-told story that will find a special place in any reader's heart." Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author. "Boerner's prose is a wonderful medium for unspooling Gracie's story, imbued with all the snark, wonder, and colorful details that characterize childhood... The author addresses real, high-stakes issues without slathering them in melodrama or saccharine sentimentality, and her book hearkens back to an older YA tradition of stories of plucky preteen girls, spooky houses, and inevitable tragedies that help mark the turning point from childhood to adolescence. A stirring novel with a distinctive young narrator." Kirkus Reviews
