Garden Books

I was inspired by an article in the 2026 Better Homes & Gardens Vintage Garden Style magazine about garden books. Specifically, the antique ones. I have one antique and one vintage. In addition to checking thrift shops for the cookbook section for unusual ones, and the children's section for baby ones, I will add gardening for the antique ones. 


This flower guide of Wild Flowers East of the Rockies is from 1927. 


The Wild Flowers of California is a 1955 publication. Their names, haunts, and habits.

My poppies are just starting to bloom. I planted a couple packets of seeds a few months ago.
The vegetable garden progress has been slowed by a medical procedure I endured recently. The hardware for the galvanized steel planter has arrived. Once I am back on my feet, I will lay out the pieces and assemble it. 

The plan is to continue leveling out the area and place landscape fabric as a weed barrier. I am debating whether I will need to lay down chicken wire under the garden bed for any burrowing critters.🐰
