摘要

This is a book about what it's like to enjoy having a big garden and performing the associated seasonal tasks. Though written by an Amish woman, details about the Amish are not of uppermost importance here. A former teacher, Lapp merely intended to write about life with a garden; she successfully teaches readers that Amish gardeners are a lot like gardeners everywhere: overly ambitious, optimistic, nostalgic for better growing seasons, and satisfied when something ordinary becomes something beautiful.
