Publisher's Synopsis
The Garden Plot Diaries is a collection of the ongoing adventures of Ivendricus Pourdry and his friend who keeps a journal of their activities. As he tends to the vegetables in his garden plot he cannot help but notice similarities between the plant world and human existence in his small town, and beyond: In the town of Mondanock, New Hampshire, two aging veterans watch as war breaks out in small-town New Hampshire between its Garden Society and other community organizations, all set to the seasons and schedules of a New England vegetable garden, all set to the slow-paced life of small New England towns and their sometimes bitter infighting.Small town government overreach meets its match. When an errant bottle finds itself into the trash instead of the recyclable bin the authorities are called in to investigate. The investigation is shocking in not only does it reveal a root beer bottle among the general recyclables but also the potential for juvenile cannibalism. Or not. German Chinese operatives infiltrate Monadnock and threaten the freedom of America. They may be old, but they still no how to kick some ass. God bless America.There is nothing better than an autumnal tale of horror and suspense. Safe to go out into the fields? Safe to choose a pumpkin to carve into a jack-o-lantern? Maybe. Maybe not. Only in the quiet New England town of Monadnock can a German farmer of Guernseys make you think twice about accepting a free New England pumpkin, but perhaps with good reason
