Slug Tossing And Other Adventures Of A Reluctant Gardener

Description for SLUG TOSSING AND OTHER ADVENTURES OF A RELUCTANT GARDENER by Meg DesCamp:

This is the true and humorous story of one woman's conversion from plant ignoramus to moderately competent gardener. Set in the place considered by some to be the very center of the gardening universe---Portland, Oregon, aka the City of Roses---the author explains how she came to attend nature's own school of hard knocks. Meg DesCamp is the original second-class citizen at the nursery, too flabbergasted to utter her rudimentary questions, able only to wonder in silence why anyone would want to put limes in their dirt. Who else but an uninitiated novice would insist on seeding a new lawn rather than calling the turf guy? This gardener's confession will elicit sympathy and laughter from anyone who has recently taken up the trowel and made the near religious conversion to amended soil.
