A bit too subtle?  Perhaps I should attend AA anonymous?

Colin, I expect there are "celebrity gardeners" working on those very titles right now!!

One title that has already been written... and published, is "The Garden Owner's Survival Guide" which is just out from Forumist, Cartoonist, Author and Galanthophile (not necessarily in that order) Martin Baxendale.

Martin explains to puzzled partners, confused colleagues and restless relatives just how tricky a thing it is to have charge of a garden..... he also gives clear instructions, helpfully illustrated , on various handy machines and technigues that might usefully be employed by the garden owner in his or her pursuit of peace, quiet and a few tasty vegetables.

 All this is done with Martin's expected humour and I can surely recommend it as a gift for garden owners, keepers of a pot of basil or a much loved window box.... any of the aforementioned puzzled partners, confused colleagues and restless relatives ..... or even to cheer yourself up.  After all, the holiday and gift giving season is about to burst upon us with all the subtlety if a gatling gun so why not get ahead of the game....... ISBN 978-0-9562398-1-5

I think you will be able to source the book from all sorts of places....

Maggi

I'm glad you have entered into the spirit of the thread.I am sure this silliness must cheer us all up ?
especially when we have 80mph gales forecast for us here in North Wales tonight.
It'll probably mean tying down more than our kangaroo.

Don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the new book about people who use spuds for contemplation Medi-tators.

"Plants I have killed" by A. Gardener!

"To Dream the Impossible Dream.  Growing Blue Poppies in Canberra, Australia" by any gardening enthusiast residing in the aforementioned city!  ::)

"Multi-stacking your garden.  The comprehensive guide to getting approval to build a 15 story carpark on your suburban block, exclusively for use as a gardening facility".  Ok, that last one probably needs a little work on the title, as it is a tad longer than would likely fit on the front of any book.  ;D  Chapters include : The effective creation of support pylons without damaging your existing garden; Which "grow lights" should you be using for most effective growing conditions; Wind turbines, and how they can generate the power to run 15 stories of artificial lighting; and lastly.... Dealing with neighbours that complain they no longer have any sun due to the shadow created by your 15 stories of garden (alternative chatper title could be something along the lines of "Blood and Bone for your garden, where to source it!".  ;)

I could continue!! (but won't..... you can stop cheering now! :-[)

I'll stop now.
