A Miscellany of Garden Wisdom

Posted by Helen Nock on October 12, 2009 at 7:42pm
I have a pocket book of the above title by Bernard Schofield. It contains a collection of gardening tips and homespun wisdom 'obscured by time and memory'. Some of the stuff is incredible. Like soaking flower seeds in perfume to let out that smell when they bloom.
