New-York Gardener

Letters from one gardener to another, two centuries old and still growing. Writing as P. Agricola, this early American guide unfolds as friendly correspondence on the kitchen garden: what to sow and when, beds and hotbeds, vegetables and herbs for the family table, month by month through the season. It is practical horticulture with the charm of a bygone voice, a window into how households fed themselves in the young republic. Gardeners and history lovers will both dig in happily. Take up the letters and plant along.
