Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Hurray, the Solstice is Past to all!
I have a little present for you all... it's a link to all kinds of old books on gardening, from gardening in India to the Canadian Prairies mostly in english, but some other languages too. I'm also posting direct links to a few that look particularly interesting to me. Enjoy!
