Description: A gardener with a philosophical bent, Alexander gives excellent advice about everything from peaches and apples to zucchini and leeks, while asking probing questions: What do our gardens tell us about ourselves? Do we get the gardens we deserve? And why does the groundhog have to take one bite from a half a dozen tomatoes when any gardener would gladly grant him six bites of just one?
