Review of 'Paradise lot' on Goodreads

4 stars

A permaculture memoir-of-a-garden, always in progress with failures and successes and as subtitled, some exceptionally happy plant nerds. Inspiring towards perennial vegetables and fruits, though overwintering Massachusetts freezes is no longer so relevant for me.
