Publisher's Synopsis
For some people, gardening is a passion. Some peoplegarden just as a hobby. For still others, it's a way to feedtheir families. We think Shirley MacClaine's character in"Steel Magnolias" said it best. "Because that's whatSouthern women do - we wear funny hats and grow thingsin the dirt."You don't have to be from the South or be a woman, oreven wear a funny hat to enjoy gardening. The thrill ofseeing your first red, ripe tomato or watching your first stalkof corn reach from the ground can be an amazing experiencefor many people.
