Favorite GARDENING books and tv shows?
Comments (7)Since you asked, allow me to suggest this television show: 'Fresh From the Garden' on DIY Network. You may not get this, but it is a national show. DIY Network is a sister station to HGTV. This show is all about vegetable gardening, from seed to harvest. I may be partial though, because I'm the host of the show. If you'd like more info. check out www.diynetwork.com, and look up the show by title, or do a search. You can also google me (Joe Lamp'l) to find out more. Hope you get to watch....See MoreSurvey: Your Favorite Gardening Books

Her first one is so very funny. and inspiring. How often do you laugh out loud at a gardening book. (Mitchell when he's in one of his grumps does elicit chuckles but who can forget Mrs. Greenthumbs mixing Mai tais, entertaining relatives, cursing magenta?) I give her book to new gardeners and tell them, read it and adopt this attitude and your garden will be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. I also give a copy of Jeff Cox's 100 Perennial All Stars. Terrific. Also loved, loved the Larkwhistle book. Patrick Lima and John Scanlan. One garden through the year with terrific insights and tips. Beautiful. This one truly inspires. Maybe the favorite....See MoreYour Favorite Garden books
