Those are giantJapanese Butterburr's that are a bit wild in the garden (they like to run) but we love them.

I'd be happy to share my garden and 2 cents in regards to vegetable philosophy. All about biodiversity and soil microbiology.

I chuckled when you mentioned that you still have plants on your deck waiting to be planted. I know the feeling all too well. One of my favorites was the blog post showing the unkempt part of your garden. I bet most gardeners have less than pristine spots in their garden yet most blogs never show them which can be depressing when you only see pictures of perfect gardens.

Wow, thank you Lauren! That's so nice to hear! Well, it looks like you won't have to wait long. I'm in final discussions with a publisher and things are looking hopeful. I don't want to say too much, but in their words " like Julia Child's The Art of French Cooking for vegetable gardeners". Not bad, right? There is a need for a more comprehensive book, I agree. Of course, it will have to look beautiful as well!

Funny, you are the third person within an hour to mention Chelsea Green to me – I checked out their website and they seem like a great company – Im afraid that it may be too late though – I am in contract stage! However, Thanks 02568!
