We strongly recommend Pamela Harper's new book "Time Tested Plants". The premise of the book is excellent: after 30 years of gardening and growing every plant imaginable, Pamela selects the bestmplants, plants she would include in her garden if she were to start all over again. To our surprise (well, maybe not), so many of the plants that she talks about are included in our plant list. Needless to say, we share Pamela's opinions of so many great plants!
