The Angel Treeby: Alex Dingwall-Main March 06, 2003 Search: fruit |

Having read a lot of european travel narratives; I thought it would be good to expand a bit the interest to the olive tree. Certainly ADM provides a good account of the desire to have olive trees in the gardens of wealthy expats (not just brits) - and indeed a good overview of the needs of the Olive Tree.
In the end however I was a little disappointed and felt that the book was more about ADM and his landscaping business; acquaintances and clients; and less about the beauty of the Olive Tree; and its mystical nature in European folklore. However some of his 'trips' do provide an indication of how people regard these ancient trees. The ending scene in Spain seems somehow cliched, although perhaps it really did happen.

Crops in Pots: How to Plan, Plant, and Grow Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs in Easy-Care Containersby: Bob Purnell April 30, 2007 Search: fruit |

I've thoroughly enjoyed leafing through this colourful and inspirational book. I never realised veg growing could be so much fun or that they could look so good. I've tried several of the ideas in my garden this year and have been pretty successful. In fact, considering I've only been gardening for a couple of years and I only have a tiny courtyard, I'm really very pleased. The 'tumbling toms' and 'potted potager' worked particularly well.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone who enjoys growing their own food, especially if they are short of space. You won't ever become self sufficient growing your veg in pots but every bit of homegrown produce is a bonus. Even if it doesn't reach the plate, at least with the help of this book your ...

Forbidden Fruit: From the Letters of Abelard and Heloise (Penguin Great Loves)by: Heloise, Peter Abelard August 02, 2007 Search: fruit |

This book follows the story of Abelard and Heloise, teacher and student, via a series of letters. Their story takes place in twelfth century France. Abelard fancies himself as a bit of a theologist/philosopher, and is called in to tutor Heloise in Philosophy. Abelard pleads with Heloise' father to be given complete control of her; a sickening move which then allows him to seduce an adolescent who I generally got the impression was young enough to be his daughter.
This abuse of power allows Abelard to carry out endless sordid liasions with Heloise, which he unbelievably refers to as 'love'. Then the two are found out in their affair, and publicly shamed. Abelard is castrated. Here begins a series of waffling letters from both ... Read More: >>More Details |

All-in-One-Garden: Grow Vegetables, Fruit, Herbs and Flowers in the Same Plotby: Graham Rice September 14, 2006 Search: fruit |
||
|
Graham Rice always writes in an interesting and easy manner, and it's easy to follow how to add veggies and fruits and herbs into your regular garden. The layout and pictures are nice, and there are lots of bullet-point lists like "Graham's Top Ten Plants for Shade" etc to help you choose or understand how to grow. The back of the book is like a little encyclopedia of the best veggies and fruits and herbs and how to grow them. Great for design, for choosing plants, for how to grow and more. I think this book will appeal even to gardeners with un-green thumbs!
