Rosefiend Cordell (aka Melinda R. Cordell) has been a municipal horticulturist, and has worked as a greenhouse manager, a perennials czar, a landscaper laborer, and a landscape designer through her career, and she ran a public rose garden with over 300 roses (mostly antique roses). Now she writes books (it's easier on the back) about what she's learned over the years in gardening. The maple that she's posing with in her author photo is one she planted in the parks system in the late 1990s. Good times! Rosefiend Cordell is her gardening book pen name; she writes epic fantasy with dragons under her real name (you can read those as well, hint hint).
My archnemisis must yield - eventually . But not before mom lost a much beloved apple tree. At the very least, I know we were not alone in the struggle, and had some insightful and witty hints and stories I love how easy it is to read this series. It's like chatting with a very wise gardening friend- one who has also sometimes met defeat The variety of tips, complete with timelines and. Pros and Cons is really useful The sympathy and wit, much appreciated. Review -- I can't recommend these books enough. Other gardening booksare intimidating, but Cordell's books are practical and often timespretty funny. Review -- Wow! Thesebooks had many new things for me to learn! Many times gardening booksdon't offer me much new information or ideas. These books are reallyexceptional, even for the experienced gardener. Review -- Loved her style -- almost felt like she was right here chatting with me or in a very small, friendly classroom -- a quick & easy read.
