A fun and easy way to learn about controlling pests the organic way. This book is a "must have" to answer questions like these:How do I get rid of ants naturally? What is eating my squash? How do I keep my neighbor's cat out of my garden? I have noticed black spots on my rose plant's leaves. Is this a cause for concern? Something is eating all the leaves on my grapevines. How can I control this naturally? Organic gardening has been a lifetime passion for Dave Owens, The Garden Guy. He has written two best-selling books, Extreme Gardening: How to Garden Organically in the Hostile Desert and The Garden Guy: A Seasonal Guide to Organic Gardening in the Desert Southwest. Like the Garden Guy's previous books, the Southwest Bug Guide is written with the Desert Southwest's hostile environment in mind, but the information and remedies are effective in any locale. This is an everyday gardener's manual to help identify and control pests the natural way. Not only keeping Mother Earth safe, but our homes, families, pets and wildlife.

| The Great Citrus Book: A Guide with Recipes (Great Series) |
Allen Susser |
ISBN: 0898158559, Paperback - BUY
Summer lemonade stands, oranges in Christmas stockings, lime margaritas and breakfast grapefruits mean "citrus" to most people. This concentrated reference and cookbook extends our knowledge of Genus Citrus' eight major species (plus Genus Fortunella's kumquat) in great detail with history, geography, climate (the key to how the fruit develops), appearance, nutritional value and recipes. Lois Ellen Frank's clear photographs of the 102 varieties are paired with descriptive paragraphs. Cutlines give little-known facts like this one: The history behind the name of the juicy Parson Brown sweet orange is a nod to the man who discovered the variety - a Reverend Brown found the original seedling in 1856. Chef Allen Susser's specialty is New World Cuisine (American, Caribbean and Latin cooking) and it influences the 38 unique recipes. His ability to transport recipes from the Old World into the new cuisine is showcased with Shrimp Bigarrade, inspired by Escoffier's Duck a la Orange; while Lobster Hash substitutes lobster for beef and sweet potatoes for white potatoes. Portobello mushrooms stand in for the fish in escabeche. No citrus cookbook is complete without original recipes, and The Great Citrus Book again offers some new versions of old favorites: Frozen Key Lime Pie, Blood Orange Marmalade and Lemon Meringue Kisses with Lemon Curd. The Great Citrus Book is a sunny addition to any cookbook shelf

Perhaps it starts with an avocado pit precariously suspended on toothpicks in a water glass, or maybe an island vacation instilled a fondness for fresh-picked papaya. Whatever the source of inspiration, the reality of successfully propagating and growing tropical plants is something most gardeners never get to experience, yet a wide variety of both familiar and exotic plants can be grown inside the home with very little effort. Whether intrigued by the culinary possibilities of using one’s own lemons or olives, or attracted to the ornamental attributes of a fragrant or vibrant blossom, tropical plants offer a wealth of edible and decorative possibilities. From the Australian Finger Lime to the Tahitian Orange, Kumquat to the Sunquat, each plant’s cultural requirements are provided in pithy descriptions that include recipes. Fun facts, handy tips, and eye-popping color illustrations and photographs round out a comprehensive yet accessible guide that will fascinate and inspire both beginning and established gardeners. --Carol Haggas

| Banana: The Fate of The Fruit That Changed the World |
Dan Koeppel's |
ISBN: 0452290082, Paperback - BUY
In this fascinating and surprising exploration of the banana’s history, cultural significance, and endangered future, award-winning journalist Dan Koeppel gives readers plenty of food for thought. Fast-paced and highly entertaining, Banana takes us from jungle to supermarket, from corporate boardrooms to kitchen tables around the world. We begin in the Garden of Eden—examining scholars’ belief that Eve’s “apple” was actually a banana— and travel to early-twentieth-century Central America, where aptly named “banana republics” rose and fell over the crop, while the companies now known as Chiquita and Dole conquered the marketplace. Koeppel then chronicles the banana’s path to the present, ultimately—and most alarmingly—taking us to banana plantations across the globe that are being destroyed by a fast-moving blight, with no cure in sight—and to the high-tech labs where new bananas are literally being built in test tubes, in a race to save the world’s most beloved fruit.
