In the first essay in "Garden Musings," this gardening writer
states, "The evidence keeps racking up that I, the Hoosier-born
offspring of several generations of farmers, chose through
ignorance to garden in a delightful area combining the world's
worst soil and an exasperating climate, all augmented by various
man-made and natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, droughts,
prairie fires, hail, drenching rains, ice-storms, late freezes,
boiling summers, and seventy mile per hour winds. " Gardening, with
all the pressures of struggle between the environment, wild
animals, and the gardener, and particularly in the harsh Kansas
weather, is not for the faint-hearted as demonstrated by the many
essays in the book including Sweet (Corn) Pain, Weather-Weary,
Midden Misery, and Soil Sorrows.
While the essays are full of useful personal observations about
gardening style, plant information, and garden practices, the
author also turns his wry eye on tumbling a number of gardening
tenets and institutions as he turns his attentions on composting,
lawn maintenance, and landscape designers who work primarily in
junipers, Japanese barberry and Stella de Oro daylilies. The timing
and content of programming of the Home and Garden Television
Network and the lack of availability of G-rated gardening statues
are other topics that don't escape this garden curmudgeon.
Gardeners searching for practical advice or simply for
winter-reading pleasure will all find fulfillment within these
pages.
