GARDENING BOOK

for gifts sometimes family and friends give us gift cards

now i drop hints all the time to my wife she

i sure like to get gift cards 

from lowes home depot the natural gardener and book stores 

for my gifts

hint hint is what i do 

so this last year we got together a gift card to the

local austin bookstore

bookpeople

now i knew from past experience

if i wanted to use this gift card to buy a book 

i had better act real fast

one trip my wife she makes to that store

and

poof its all gone 

down to zero

and

i never even get a chance

so while listening to the gardening show on klbj590am

one weekend 

and 

later while watching the pbs show

central texas gardener 

there were interviews with 

trisha shirey about her new book

thats pictured above

now i knew her from listening to her on the radio 

and 

seeing her on the gardening show

that  she was good organic gardener

and 

was a good teacher

so i jumped quick

hey 

would you see if bookpeople has her new book

vegetable gardening in the southwest

also

i knew from listening to the shows that it was all sold out

at amazon and barnes and noble

heard bookpeople had a few left

plus

i knew she was on the way down there to that book store

so my wife she 

shes a good wife she is 

she came home that day with only one book 

my book

it only cost $21.60 with tax

so

i guess she can go ahead and use the rest of our gift card

for whatever books she wants

now this book

vegetable gardening in the southwest

is really written for newbies to gardening around here

its all about organic gardening

very thorough

theres instructions on what to do to get started

month to month guides on what to do

i looked at februarys list just to make sure i was doing things right

i like that it doesnt give you too much information 

i plan to keep it on my coffee table for a good reference

i would like to thank 

the gift giver who gave us the gift card

my wife she for letting me get a gift book this time

and

of course 

trisha shirey for writing such a good reference on 

how to organically do vegetable gardening around here
