Good gardening reads (Otago Daily Times)
Gillian Vine takes a look at some excellent new books on gardening. At first glance, Basic Gardening Skills (Teach Yourself, pbk, $27.99) looks a bit dull, as it lacks photographs and is printed on dull paper, but this little paperback from the Teach Yourself series is chockful of good advice, making it an excellent introduction to basic gardening.
