Old Gardening Books

[Sheneval]

I have a really old book by a guy called Adam - inside cover has the words 'this book belongs to Methuselah' - sure I borrowed it from him when we went to primary school together.

and the title I suppose is "Gardening in Eden" ?

...with a very short recipe section - "what to do with an apple"!

[Aberdeenplotter]

Nah, there must be at least one recipe for a spare rib?

How did you know?

He seems to have been a bit of an expert on growing apple trees although he obviously had problems with vandalsm and theft because his harvest was very poor that year.

Anything about Serpent deterrents?

[Aberdeenplotter]

must have grown fig trees too

It was a lot easier than nipping down to m&s for your undies

[Aberdeenplotter]

Yups but we don't have convenience flaps like BM's

.....You kilt wearers are all the same

We haven't always worn kilts - back when I knew Methuselah we just had loin cloths - but it was far too cold down on the allotment back then so some guy invented the kilt and made a fortune - he left and started a chain of shops - we never saw him down on the allotment after that. Think his name was Moses?

oops strayed off topic there.

Would I have to be a full time Nutter? - Is the Nutters Club affiliated to any other Organisation? Could I get my entry fee back if I find too many 'Normal' people in the Club? Sorry for all the questions but I always try to play a full part in any Organisation I join and like to be 100% certain that I am fully qualified to join

To return to topic, I have a couple of books by John Seymour which are very good for organic growers.
