When I first started gardening last
year, I was on a budget and using all the frugal tips and tricks I
could find in my research online. One of the things that popped up
again and again during that research was this book. After trying to get
hold of a copy for a while, I finally found it available at our
library, put a hold on it and a few days later I picked it up.
The copy they had was well worn
which showed it had been read plenty and after spending two days
leisurely reading through it I can see why! After his accidental lemon
tree sparked the interest in gardening, this book goes in detail of
the adventures of Richard and his obsession with planting the
'throwaways' from everyday produce.
From lemon trees, avocado to papaya
Richard tried it all! Sure he had some failures but he also had
successes! I could totally relate to this book and the author! Heck I
have some of my own experiments going on now, and last year I had the tomato experiment from store produce. Just because some people tell you it can't be done, doesn't mean you shouldn't try! Definitely recommend it to all gardeners!
