The honey sounds awesome, too! Hurray!


I nipped a bit of time out of this morning's schedule to read a bit of the book. It's excellent, and I'm learning a lot already! Hurray! Thumbs up
I chose to start with a chapter that explains the why's and wherefores of non-native (alien) plants' interactions in an adopted ecosystem...fascinating (and kinda scary!) information. IMHO, this information should be read and assimilated by all gardeners, landscapers and industry professionals. And, as the front cover says, ...by anyone who has a backyard. Big Grin

I got my book today!!! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

I know I'm going to love it but have only had a chance to flip through it as when I walked in the door with it, my dh wanted to see it & he got so engrossed that I couldn't get it back from him! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing He began reading portions aloud & showing me pictures. I had a hard time prying it from his fingers. Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

He said something about a tree that was introduced here in the 1600s...300 years later, it has added a whopping 2 more species that it supports, because it's not native to here. And all my numbers are suspect, because it's a hazy memory. But it was an incredibly low number of species that it supported in 16-whatever, and not a very much larger number in 19-whatever. **shakes head**
