    REVIEWS:

        

    "A perfect cookbook that preserves a bit of Americana! Passing down family recipes is so important. Who of us doesn't wish that we could replicate Grandma's holiday stuffing or Great Auntie's Dutch Apple pie? Through the Garden Window - Season of Harvest is a great trip down memory lane."
    Susan M. - Dublin, CA.

      Garden Catalogs

      Outside it is cold and snowy. I sip my mulled cider—made from my mother-in-law’s recipe—contentedly while going through the mail.

      The catalogs have arrived and I eagerly page through each one, the bright illustrations on the covers giving me brief glimpses of what joys are to come. With each turn of the page, I’m greeted by a variety of colors and types, but I look closely at the maturity and germination times, not just the colors.

      First, the vegetable catalogs, full of good things to eat.

      Everyone has their favorite vegetables, the ones they will never change and continuously order. I had a radish like that, where I swore I was never going to order any other kind of radish. One year, I did order something different, just to try, and I loved it. Now I have a new favorite.

      My grandmother once told me that when you found a vegetable that did well for you, keep it. But she also told me to not be afraid to try new things out in the garden.

      And now, as I page through my catalogs, I keep that in mind. I ask myself: What did well in the past? What had problems? Is there something new that would take care of those problems?

      The next catalogs contain flowers and shrubs, with colors that pop from every page. I go through these wondering: What will do better in that sunny spot in the front yard? What will work in the shade in the backyard? What has shallow roots for next to the house? What color schemes will I have this year?

      A set color scheme is an attempt that often fails. I may start out with a lovely, monochromatic color scheme, but every year it evolves into an overall palate of colors.

      For example, I can’t put blue next to the house, as the siding is blue and blue flowers make it look grey. But blue would look wonderful next to the garage and then I can put these red ones near the house...

      And so it goes, with each catalog becoming more and more tattered.

      The third type of catalog I get are the gadget catalogs. They are filled with new hoes, nippers, diggers, shovels, spades, seeders, bulb planters, bird netting, netting ties, insect tunnels, etc., all of which are brand new. These catalogs I don’t look at quite so thoroughly. I like buying my gardening tools at the local hardware or garden store where I can try them out and see if I like the feel. I still look though; there might be something new to try.

      After I have gone through all the catalogs numerous times—each vegetable, each flower, each shrub, each shovel—I make my lists.

      I start with vegetables.

      What do I want this year?

      Carrots, radishes, cucumbers, spinach, onions, hot peppers, bell peppers, watermelon, and squash.

      Which type of hot peppers?

      Which kind of watermelon?

      I’m partial to the yellow watermelon, they
