Re: Gardening Book For New England Area?

I'm a newbie, so please forgive any errors.  Lewis and Nancy Hill have
written numerous gardening books, including *Cold Climate Gardening*,
another on perennials, another called, I think, *Fruits and Berries for the Home
Garden* all put out by Storey Communications' Garden Way Publishing, in
Pownal, VT.  They live and have gardened fanatically for more than
50 years in Northern Vermont, and write in a very entertaining and informative
style.  I know that these books can also be purchased at the Brooklyn
Botanical Garden.  I hope you can read this and that it's of some
help! --Carol

First, I'd like to thank Dave Sill for contributing the terrific
resource lists -- what an endeavor!

I do need to take exception to one little magazine review, however...

[Shameless plug follows. ;-]

>New Farm
>    Rodale Press
>    33 E. Minor St.
>    Emmaus, PA 18098

>    "Too preachy about organic methods working on a large scale.
>    Don't really trust the writers, nor the source."  Steve Buchele

I counter:

	"Remarkably free of preachiness and hype.  Where most ag mags just
	hype inputs and machinery, this one continually comes up with good
	articles by real farmers, small and large, who have real ideas,
	innovations and advice to offer based on real experience (this in
	contrast to that other Rodale magazine...).  We're professional,
	small-scale farmers, and we read it cover-to-cover every month."
