Lazy Gardening

Ruth Stout, where have you been all my life?

  2. I wish I had known/met Ruth. She's the kind of gardener I'd like to grow up to be some day. Laura

  6. Just wanted to say Congrats on your Martha Stewart article. The photos were beautiful. So glad a great TX garden was featured. We tend to get overlooked.

  8. She has written at least three books.

    Gardening without work for the aging, the busy, the indolent

    Love that title!

    I've always done it my way

    and

    How to have a green thumb without an aching back: a new method of mulch gardening

    I was fortunate enough to find these three in my local library and have actually read one.

    Useful information and and most interesting. She sounds like a real character.

  9. Oh Ruth...my muse. How precious is she?! And I love her mother's parenting philosophy as well. I aspire to the same.
