There are two authors that I particularly like that thoroughly cover edible landscaping: Rosalind Creasy "The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping" Plus a range of niche gardening and edible landscaping books. Fred Hagy "Landscaping with Fruits and Vegetables" Notably, Rosalind is from the Sacremento, CA area, so her examples and suggestions tend to lean more lean in the direction of plants that grow well in that climate. Fred Hagy is from the Northeast (if I remember correctly), so his examples and suggestions might be more suitable for your PA climate. Either way, both books are loaded with very comprehensive information and are the cornerstone of my edible landscaping book collection.

You probably need a whole bookcase of them - one shelf for china, one for silver, one for glassware ... etc.

Yous guys really got me wanting a very nice kettle. I've been wrestling with myself over the costly but beautiful second kettle below for a couple of months. I remember seeing a Michael Graves kettle in a museum long ago, and I'd love to have this one. It's made in Italy and has a copper bottom and, they say, a melodic two-tone whistle. Yesterday a JCP flyer came in the mail, and in it was a photo of the new Graves Bells and Whistles kettle, the first image. It's made in China and has a steel bottom, so not as nice overall, and probably doesn't sound as sweet the second one, but it's way less expensive, too. A local JCP put one aside for me and I had a coupon so it seemed like it was meant to be and I grabbed it up. There is no resemblance at all to the evil dictator, of course. But it has become a novelty because of the hype. It boils water and pours just fine.

For my first home purchase I used a highly recommended RA Attorney and things went great. In your situation it would work out very well I think to go that route. I have found that in our area many real estate agents aren't quite up to speed on the legal side of the RA business and writing up a contract beyond the standard MLS state required forms isn't something they are schooled to do much of. You have the perfect opportunity to avoid the real estate agent side of the business and use a good attorney to help you. If you were dealing with a sellers agent and a listed property then the BA would be more beneficial. Our last property purchase we did use a Buyers Agent, and while he did help us out in some cases - mostly getting us in the door as soon as possible for newly listed homes, I found that I knew more that he did at times regarding transaction details and contract terms We ended up buying a lot that I knew about prior to working with this BA. In addition to the BA getting his 3% commission (from the seller in this case) I still paid my attorney to go over the purchase contract, the title report, and the neighborhood association rules etc...
