Acknowledgments Introduction Propagation and Planting A bit of deception helps me get some seeds to sprout that under natural conditions would wisely stay asleep Burial in tundra might be ideal for seed storage but I choose more practical storage for my vegetable and flower seeds Electricity temporarily suffices when access to sunlight is lacking In which the pre-plant toughening up of seedlings is shown to be necessary, but with a gentle touch Plants exhibit all sorts of changes, some sought after, some not, as they go through puberty A recommendation to plant citrus from seed even if fruit is improbable or not worth eating Containing some of the ways in which I use a few or many plant cells to conjure up whole new plants I revisit totipotence, using stems again, this time joining them to existing roots Neither monstrous nor scary, but often beautiful - yes, real chimeras may be in our midst Knowing that a bulb is, essentially, a stem lets me multiply them with the same "pinch" that makes stems branch Soil In which we watch the progress of water traveling through soil, with methods to, at the same time, speed it up and slow it down A common sense recommendation that turns out not to make sense Contains a description and an opinion of hydroponics In which I pay homage to humus, even though it may be a misnomer Wherein I check my ground's acidity and then tweak it, as needed On my ostensibly occult practice which turns out to be good gardening How I manage to tame nitrogen's comings and goings for my plants Even without squealing like hungry pigs, my plants can tell me if they're hungry, and for what Flowering and Fruiting Sex is introduced and its sometime importance is emphasized In which I make right the products of plants' sexual excesses Describing the importance of night for coaxing blossoms, and a gardener's trickery In which a small gas molecule has a big effect on flavor Contains a question and an answer: is hybrid always high-bred? Stems and Leaves In which my thumbnails, pruning shears, and branch bending coax plants into bushiness, lankiness, or anything betwixt Wherein I make designs with the traceries of my fruit plants' branches Questioning the advice to put the brakes on tree growth with summer pruning On the genesis, reason for, and propagation of weeping trees A comfortable seat in a sunny spot gets trees and shrubs ready for winter... In which it is demonstrated that buds are not boring How buds become burls and witches' brooms On entreating and helping trees to stay asleep About a quick and easy way to hasten spring Sunlight is important but sometimes shade offers improvement Organizations Wherein families migrate together around my garden, and for good reason How plant families got put in order On Latin being a foreign tongue but providing a useful understanding of plant relationships Making up a new category name, fortunately, does not ruin flavor or appearance Relating a true story about how my plants broke the law Stress On steps, human and otherwise, to avoid the havoc of icy cells during frigid temperatures In which hot days bring on a tug of war between hunger and thirst, in plants No water, no matter - because I take these steps for drought A very local search for congenial weather Seedlings' transition to the garden is helped along with tough love, timely and not in excess Unwanted plants - that is, weeds - are best understood before they are outwitted A sometime threat that straddles the fence between living and nonliving In which is clarified a name as a sign, rather than a symptom, of disease Fire blight, first noted not far from my home over 200 years ago, has the honor of being the first plant disease to be caused by bacteria Senses In which I elucidate, abet, and alter the color of leaves, vegetables, and flowers An Italian who tied together plant growth, art, and other things too innumerable to mention Here I make sense of scents, equally so for insects and humans The touch here is that felt by the plants And finally, the efforts I take to grow the best tasting fruits and vegetables Epilogue: The Scientific Method Index About the Author About New Society Publishers
