(I'm a librarian..) This is a good, basic list, and I'll make sure the library owns these ! Thank you for introducing me to so many books for myself and for the library.

I've started to teach monthly gardening classes to my women's group at church. Keeps me on my toes and helps me not to forgot what I taught in class. When is the big day? Sherry - It all starts with a dream! Devourer of Books - Every state has a Master Gardener program. It's actually done at the county level through the college in your state that has been chosen to handle the program. I lived in New Lenox (south of Chicago, near Juliet) in high school. At that time, my Mom went through the program (I guess it's in our blood). So they should. Erin - Everything has it's time and place. I managed to do my certification while I was pregnant and had a 18 month old. If I could do it, anybody could it! Trish – It’s really fun.

I would love to do this program but do not have time now. I have a flower garden but no vegetables. We do not get much sun in our yard so I am very limited on what I can plant. I have a nice variety of hostas! Congratulations again. I would love to do this program but do not have time now. I have a flower garden but no vegetables.

My goal is to begin a garden, primarily a food garden once we move from our condo to a house. I hope I'm not terrible at it. I'm pretty terrible at remembering to water plants inside, but hopefully if I was trying to grow my own squash and tomatoes I would remember. I wonder if there is a similar program in Chicago?

You should post pictures of your own garden! I'm getting married in a garden by the way! It's just beautiful...
