Margaret Roach has been harvesting 30 years of yard parables - deceptively simple, instructive tales from a life spent digging ever deeper - and has distilled them in this memoir along with her best techniques for garden making, discouraging all types of canine and insect competitors, at-home pickling, and more. After ruminating on the bigger picture in her memoir And I Shall Have Some Peacefulness There, Margaret Roach has went back to the garden, insisting as ever that people must garden with both our mind and heart, or as she expresses it, with "horticultural how-to and woo-woo." InThe Backyard Parables, Roach uses her fundamental understanding of the natural world, viewpoint, and life to explore the techniques gardening kept and instructed her, and meditates on the knowledge and spirituality of character, reminding her listeners and herself to keep on digging.
