More Books + Video

Posted on January 12, 2006 by joelignacio

Once I got home from work and MacWorld, I return my videos to the city library and borrowed more books:

- Jeff Cox’s 100 Greatest Garden Ideas by (duh?) Jeff Cox
- Who Named the Daisy? Who Named the Rose? by Mary Durant
- Apartment 3-A Mariposa St. by Fanny A. Garcia (a short book written in Tagalog)

I also got two more videos:

- Yardening: How to Grow & Nurture Seedling
- Yardening: How to Grow Cool-Weather Vegetables

Both in the Yardening series with Jeff Ball

    “Who named the Daisy, Who named the Rose” sounds intriguing, Let me know if you liked it, if you could.

    I bought a book years ago when in California called “Golden Gate Gardening” by Pam Peirce. Have you read it? If not, you might want to look for it at the library.

      I’m not sure if I saw “Golden Gate Gardening” in the library, I’ll check it out next time… and I’ll tell ya what I think of this book…

      Hey there. I didn’t get a chance to really go through the whole book, but I did read some plants that interested me. The book is in a encyclopedia-like format, so it’s easy to find the history of a specific plants name. They don’t have everything, but it is interesting. I was trying to find out how Coleus got its name, but they didn’t have that plant.

      I was able to find “Who Named the Daisy? Who Named the Rose?” on eBay, for $1.88 (Buy It Now), so I purchased it. With shipping it came to under $5.00. I think it is a good to have on my shelf for reference.

      I was also able to find the book “Golden Gate Gardening”. Thanks for the suggestion. I hope it will apply to climate here. :)
