Publisher Comments:

For readers who like gardening (and love the English language), this posthumous collection of Mitchell's "Washington Post" "Earthman" columns is "equal parts entertainment and shrewd horticultural advice" ("Science News").

Review:

'\"Every gardener has a folly, an imponderable affection, and the prose of Henry Mitchell is mine, if loving prose this well made if foolish at all.\" — Verlyn Klinkenborg'
