Before we all hear the call of the wild and are drawn to our gardens I highly recommend reading Michael Pollan's book "The Botany of Desire" a plant's-eye view of the world. It's been on the National Bestseller list but some how I missed it.....probably because I've been stuck in reference manuals or weedin' and waterin' in the garden. It's a very interesting read about the reciprocal relationship between plants and people. He shines light on the question, Did we domesticate plants or did they domesticate us?

oh, you can never have too many gardening books! I'll look that one up it sounds interesting.
when a plant lusts in the Botany of Desire does it yell, "Stella!"
